Just got this delivered for Weaving Walls next week at Norwich Puppet Theatre!
Another gorgeous session at Norwich Puppet Theatre playing with line. These sessions are as much about the children playing as the parents. I am really lucky to have some amazingly creative parents who love getting stuck in and playing too... such a joy to watch!
In the lovely Octagon space of the puppet theatre in Norwich; using lights, shadows, dens and of course teddies, we created a wonderful world for animals to play. Some of us even became animals!
My kitchen at home was basically emptied for this session at Norwich Puppet Theatre. Things we discovered were: paella pans make a surprisingly pleasant noise when bashed with a wooden spoon, washing up sponges are fabulous to bounce on lycra and tuppaware makes great towers! After all the mess that was created we made kitchen helpers to help us tidy up.
Love this picture (above) taken by Libby Waite, the Marketing officer at Norwich Puppet Theatre. This is BEFORE everyone arrives. I like making the spaces enticing and curious, without being precious about it. Once everyone was in and got started, there was a very industrious atmosphere. Everybody was busy exploring, making, creating and playing. We transformed the rows of boxes into a bustling city with roads, traffic lights, car parks, railways and volcanoes (!?) Very very excited to be part of Team Magic for the 2014 residencies of Magic Adventure. Magic Adventure is an interactive installation for very young children and babies. I will be lucky enough to be working with Charlotte Arculus and Saffron Paffron; amazing performers and makers who originally devised and designed the show. Alongside them, are two fantastic music practitioners and performers; Natalie Willis and Mary Lovett. We spent the first week of 2013 doing research and development for an upcoming residency in the spring. It is a real privilege to be working with such a talented bunch of people I am going to be learning lots. Pictures by Saffron Paffron
A lovely way to end the year off with Little Tots at Norwich Puppet Theatre. I created a fancy dress emporium for children and parents to explore. Full of hats, dresses, cloaks, sunglasses and a whole van load of random fancy dress items! There was a photo booth to record the costumes and a party with balloons to finish up with. It was a blast! Looking forward to the next sessions coming up in the new year. Thank you NPT for inviting me back!
