Theatre Skills; Primary & Secondary

Bigfoot’s range of theatre skills and dance workshops are designed to give students and their teachers the opportunity to work with professional arts practitioners to explore a variety of theatrical techniques.

PUPPETRY WITH EMMA

Bigfoot have partnered with Bigfooter Emma Longthorne in order to offer schools a completely unique creative learning experience. Emma is a professional actor, puppeteer and facilitator who trained at East 15 Acting School and the Curious School of Puppetry.

We are therefore delighted to be able to provide both Primary and Secondary school students with the opportunity to explore the technique of puppetry, as well as create and animate their very own puppets with Emma herself!
