Chris is an experienced workshop leader, puppetry practitioner and CSA Survivor, who will lead two gentle sessions introducing puppetry. Through sharing key principles that underpin his own practice, Chris will support the group to embrace play, curiosity and creativity to bring the inanimate alive.
Chris is Artistic Director of Green Ginger; an award-winning theatre company that has created and toured across the planet, and that is known for its absurd and highly visual productions for stage, street and screen.
There are two other workshops as part of this FTW series, which you are welcome to also attend. You can book in for Criz's Introduction to Collage here and Susannah's Creative Minds: Zebras, Words & Craftism here.
