Giant Puppets
For over 10 years DNA have made puppets of all shapes and sizes
with many larger than life creations for carnivals, festivals and
parades. Often DNA artists will work with a group of childdren,
young people or families over a period of time as a residency to
learn
- construction techniques
- decorative skills
- large scale puppet maneuvering / manipulation
- choreographed routines
During Puppet Up! Blackpool's Festival of Puppetry (1997 - 2006),
DNA's Artistic Director co-ordinated many groups of children and
young people with North West artists to create super-sized sculptures
and figures.
