The week long ‘Puppet Play in a Week’ is an innovative scheme where PuppetSoup works at the Unicorn with a group of children for a whole week. During this time the children make all the sets and puppets for a big stage show that they write, devise and then perform themselves!

Through the week PuppetSoup teaches a variety of puppetry and performance techniques, helps with devising a script and a show, teaches about set design, lighting and sound design and assists the young people in making a variety of puppets, masks and sets to perform with.

The week includes making giant puppets, shadow puppets, glove puppets, recycled puppets and giving young people the opportunity to perform their own show and make their own decisions on their artistic choices.
