I am very excited to announce that I am busy working on my next puppet project at the National theatre, Elephantom. For children and grown-ups of all ages, the story of one little girl and her larger-than-life friend is brought to life with extraordinary puppetry and theatrical ingenuity.
Tickets are now available on the National's website here:

Here she is, well it's a great start anyways. So far we've put together the basic frame of our cow puppet. You should be able to notice the revolving waist mech, this will have bungy spanning the two halves to help spring the bum end of the cow back to the central position. The positioning of the udders means they sway when the rear it moved, adding to the illusion of the cow walking. This puppet will be puppeteerd by two people so it won't be having legs as such. More to follow
