“Curious has really opened me up to the puppetry world and the opportunities it holds. It has actively made me want to work more in the industry, to collaborate and make worlds with makers and other puppeteers alike. I couldn’t recommend it enough.” - excerpt from blog post by Eden Harbud

Curious 2019 ran as an eight-week intensive puppetry course from 24 February - 6 April at Pollard Row in Bethnal Green. We welcomed 16 students from 4 countries (including South Africa and Germany).

2019’s international cohort was: Amber Donavan, Amber-Rose Perry, Anna Ingleby, Caroline Ada, Craig Leo, Dan Armstrong, Eden Harbud, Emma Longthorne, Giulia Dessi, Jennie Rawling, Jum Faruq, Lucy Green, Markus Schabbing, Olivia Racionzer, Sascha Gilmour, Sipho Ngxola, Siphokazi Mpofu

“[Curious] has unlocked my potential to be able to work quickly, less preciously, to go for it and create! I believe my puppetry skills are much better off having done the course and I’ve begun to understand my preferences in style and techniques, where I could use more practise and experience. I am exploring my voice as a puppeteer more keenly too.” - Student testimony
