Puppet Power! is an action-packed production designed to inspire children to make and perform their own puppets, with found objects and everyday materials. Completely dressed in newspaper two intrepid puppeteers begin by folding and tearing a newspaper to create a little finger puppet, the image of themselves, which leads into the smallest ringed circus imaginable. These tiny stars perform vaudeville slapstick, impossible transformations and hair-raising feats of daring.
With humour and imagination the performers demonstrate how to create and perform finger, glove, rod and shadow puppets, with the methods easily falling within the ability of most children.
Puppet Power! has toured extensively to festivals in Japan, South Korea, and throughout New Zealand including the NZ International Arts Festival Schools Program. In 2008 it was presented at Puppets@FedSquare in Melbourne, Australia.
Puppet Power! is 50 minutes long and is most suitable for children aged 4 – 12 years old and family audiences.
