Monster Circus Workshop Experience
with Georgia Hill
Aimed at ages 7-11
Duration: approx. 90 minutes
Roll up, Roll up, come and join the Monster Circus! Can you make the clown tell jokes? Dare to make the puppet walk the tightrope?
Georgia’s Monster Circus is a unique opportunity for children to explore puppets and have a go at puppeteering! Learn about a monster mash-up of puppet styles that are used in theatre, television, and carnivals.
A monstrously fun and lively hands-on workshop! The Monster Circus puppets are extra special as they have been made by Georgia especially for the children to puppeteer- designed for small hands, the perfect size for children to operate and bring to life.

Age Guidance
Monster Circus Workshop Experience is aimed at ages 7-11. The activities have been carefully designed to engage children in this age group, and please especially note that the puppets have been specifically made for their use. Smaller children would have difficulty handling the large puppets and would not be able to participate fully.
