Alison McGowan, Tanya Axford, PuppetShip (UK)

Old Town Hall (Duration: 35 minutes)

Welcome aboard for a sparkling adventure around the Islands of Objects. Meet the fantastic creatures living there and keep a look out for hidden treasure… A gentle, interactive performance / play session for 3-4 year olds created by Alison McGowan and Tanya Axford, presented by PuppetShip CIC.

Snowdome

Inside a sparkly snowdome it’s always Winter. Curious creatures dream of Spring among glittering palaces and shimmering landscapes. And still it snows…

Join our interactive performance and play session inside a snowdome. Transform simple household materials into beautiful miniature worlds in a magical environment.

Devised by Alison McGowan of PuppetShip CIC and visual artist Tanya Axford, this enchanting experience for children aged 3-4 and their grown-ups is a delight for the senses – you may never want to leave!

Puppetry Pie

Immersive environments, object theatre, improvised music and interactive dance make up the many layers of Puppetry Pie, a creative feast for 3 year olds.

PuppetShip have recently completed a 9 month residency within the George Dent Nursery in Darlington . This developmental project took four distinct disciplines; puppetry, environment, music and dance weaving these threads together into a rich tapestry of creative stimulus for pre-school children.

Through this project we have developed and refined our holistic approach to creativity within the early years setting, taking a lead from the sensitivities and reactive creativity of the Reggio Emilia approach.

Puppetry Pie also provided a series of professional development workshops, supporting the practice of teacher’s assistants in and around Darlington, though the introduction of puppets and “Reggio” inspired creativity into their own settings.

PuppetShip is now taking enquiries relating to early years projects which might benefit from the Puppetry Pie treatment contact Alison Mcgowan for details.
