Artist in Residence
Julia is available to visit schools as an Artist in Residence where courses in puppet making and puppetry performance are offered . Depending on the requirements of the organisation and the types of puppets chosen, Julia would be happy to work with both students and staff. If time allowed in the school day, a number of workshops from the list above can be combined to meet the needs of the school/organisation.
All courses can be tailor-made to fulfil the learning objectives of different Key Stages of the English National Curriculum or for the PYP/MYP/IBDP programmes. Working with different age groups on a range of projects could culminate in a show, or a series of smaller shows for parents and friends as desired.
