In my experience the arts can provide a vital role in strengthening and healing individuals and communities. My process is one of discovering and drawing out ideas from children, rather than imposing my own. I provide an environment in which it is nurturing and safe to take risks. For children to create puppets and tell their own stories activate their imaginations, fosters ownership of work and undeniably builds self-esteem. I teach many different styles of puppetry, which can be adapted to any group size or theme.
Most residencies culminate with performances that can become exciting community events.
