Customisable for all ages

In this workshop, participants will be given a brief introduction to the mechanisms of five forms of puppetry. During the session, they will also be given hands-on experience in manipulating puppets as an individual and ensemble. At the end of the session, the students will be exploring devising and storytelling using the puppets. The six forms of puppetry include:

• Traditional Chinese Hand Puppetry
• Rod Puppetry
• String Puppetry
• Mask Puppetry
• Shadow Puppetry
• Object Puppetry

Customisable for all ages

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the anatomy of a professional rod puppet and its mechanisms. Using the materials provided, participants will design and assemble their very own rod puppets. At the end of the session, the participants will also be given the opportunity to explore puppet manipulation techniques using their completed puppets.

For Pre-schools to Lower Pri

In this Object Puppet-aking workshop, students will be making their own object puppets and manipulating them. Using the Little Ping Pong craft kit, the students will be guided to construct and decorate their very own Little Ping Pong using simple materials such as paper, key rings, strings and cardboard box. With their Little Ping Pong puppets, the students will also explore the basic principles of puppet manipulation and learn how to create a scene using their puppets.

For Pre-schools and Families

In celebration of our local festivities, Storytelling with Puppets is a seasonal, theme-based puppetry programme catered to pre-schools and families with young children. This programme consists of a 15-minute interactive storytelling and a 45-minute puppetry workshop. At the end of the storytelling session, children will be introduced to the mechanisms of the puppets seen in the stories. This also includes a hands-on puppet manipulation segment where parents and children can learn how to move a puppet together.
