ANIMATE PUPPET CO.

Stephen is the founder and Creative Director of Animate Puppet Co. Animate deliver educational workshops for academic venues, community groups, and professional artists.
Our academic sessions teach the fundamental skills of a puppeteer through industry-level training and are suitable for pupils from KS1 to degree level. We have three different workshops available, containing a wide range of solo and group devising exercises that end with a sharing of the work created. Our community workshops create a supportive space where all voices are heard. In these exciting sessions, we share the key skills of puppetry and guide participants through multiple exercises that promote teamwork and discovery through play. These workshops are suitable for ages 10+, with mixed age group sessions possible.
"From our initial meeting, I knew that Animate were going to provide a carefully prepared, well-planned, and highly skilled workshop for our students and my expectations were surpassed. Our BA Acting students were challenged, inspired, and left wanting to engage with more puppetry and object manipulation. I am amazed with what the students were able to create in three days of workshops and the skills that they continue to use since"
