Winner of the Creative Business Achievers Award June 2007

My name is Jo Bryant and I am a trained teacher who runs workshops using puppets and role play to explore aspects
of behaviour.

I can offer:

Fantasy Storytelling - Can you save Mrs Pottytree from falling off the magic carpet, or help Hugo the Giant from squashing his friends? This creative framework allows children and young people to explore emotions, behaviour and problem solving while having fun.

Social Education Sessions - Whether it is anti-bullying education with teenagers, environmental issues with KS2 students or behaviour management for parents and their children, approaching these subjects with puppets can be highly effective.

Puppet Making - Maybe your children would like to make their own movable puppets and then create a puppet show in my theatre? KS3 students can create large foam puppets for performance and learn the skills of puppet manipulation, character formation and voice. Not only will they go home with a new puppet friend, but also with the skills to really make it come to life.

If you have children or work with children and young people, I can offer a creative framework to explore communication while providing emotional support within a fun and safe environment.

My puppets also enjoy outings to children's parties as well as other venues. My work is ideal for all ages.

Please take a look at examples of my workshops on the pages gathered here, and do not hesitate to contact me for further information.

I look forward to hearing from you.
