What’s on
This Term
Whether it’s a show or a workshop that you’re after, we have lots of different activities you will need here.
21 September – 30 November
Intermediate Puppetry Course
18+
Our Intermediate Puppetry Course invites participants to explore thoroughly some of the most popular forms of contemporary puppetry. Each session of the ten-week term will build upon the fundamental principles of puppetry, culminating in a final sharing of work.
These sessions will leave participants with a knowledge of advanced techniques, confidence in handling animated objects and specialist skills for devising live performance with puppets. This course particularly focuses on Object Theatre, Marionettes, TV puppetry and multiple puppeteer puppets. Participants will also get the opportunity to put their design skills into practice through specific making sessions where they will learn how to create a head moving mechanism.

People behind the puppets
Over the past 60 years, a huge range of designers have brought their unique puppet designs to life on the Little Angel Theatre stage.
In this new online series, Little Angel’s very own Little Angel puppet will meet and interview several different designers to find out more about their experiences of puppetry design and why they love working in the field.
Bertie
Bertie… is our brand new first-ever digital series!
Bertie is an environmental entertainment and education series or children aged 3 to 8 on LAT’s YouTube Channel. Children will learn about different environmental issues and consider how they can take their own steps to help combat climate change.
All puppets and set have been designed and made using found and recycled materials – LAT is committed to environmental sustainability in our actions as well as in our content.

Little Angel Theatre is a magical place. They have brought many of my books to life on stage, and they do so creatively whilst remaining faithful to the books. It is wonderful to see so many children enjoying this special THEATRE.
