What do puppeteers do in lockdown?
Jun 02, 2020
Make a new show!
Internationally awarded puppet company, Dream Puppets offer several incursions to Victorian schools, all starring the character "Dreamer", who has wonderful adventures. The company's two principals conceive all elements of their shows - and make everything. While in lockdown, Richard has made a cat puppet for a show in development. It's an allegory about the Covid19 lockdown, called Dreamer and the Rainbow Cat. The puppets are exquisite and take ages to make.
