Working with masks and puppets

The Fetch is now offering a range of workshop opportunities:

Challenging, inventive with something for everyone - extremely worthwhile

The ‘Second Skin’ workshop programme introduces MASK and PUPPETRY performance skills to young people. Developed through many years experience, workshops can be tailored for individual groups.

"I’d never seen puppets before, I never knew how magical they were
- it was amazing."

SHADOW puppetry workshops are suitable for all ages from 6yrs+ and can be tailored to meet the needs and interests of your group ranging from simple shadows for very young children to complex shadow work for older students.

All workshops can last for a full day, half day or we can arrange a series of workshops potentially leading to a performance.

The Fetch is experienced in working with all ages from 6 years old to adult. We have worked with young people in youth centres, schools and performing arts colleges. We have delivered projects with adults and young people with special needs and are experienced in working on large-scale community projects.

The emphasis of most of our workshops is on performance skills. Making our masks and puppets takes time and therefore if you are particularly interested in MAKING as opposed to PERFORMANCE skills please talk to us about a residency or series of workshops with your group.
