Description: Puppetmongers' aim is to explore and advance the theatrical possibilities of puppetry to promote the art by making our new and broader definition of puppetry into a widely accepted part of theatre. Our definition encompasses all objects manipulated for a theatrical purpose be they representational or nonrepresentational, including the scenic elements and live performers when used as objects. We create something never seen before, yet accessible because it is grounded within recognizable traditions. By exploring stories with meaning and placing the work in a contemporary context, we delight and engage the consciences of our audiences. We challenge our audiences' expectations of puppetry, of what they might see at the theatre, and ultimately about what life has to offer. Our desire is that our work will contribute to a humanist, supportive and accepting society.

Marionette Making
Make a very basic marionette (string puppet) and begin to learn how to manipulate it, how to untangle it, and how to store it away.

Toy Theatre
Build your own Toy Theatre with small-scale scenery and tiny rod puppet characters to present your very own masterpiece.

Shadow Puppetry
Create a show with intricate cutout puppets and animate their shadows on a screen – like a movie performed live.
