We offer mentoring, training and consultancy and specialise in puppetry and visual storytelling. Sue Buckmaster offers a range of advice and collaboration including direction, dramaturgy, consultation on your puppetry needs and on the creation of work for young audiences.  We’re happy to discuss adapting our offers to your needs, so do get in touch.

Over the last few years there has been a huge increase in puppetry within both the commercial and independent theatre sectors.  Puppetry skills are much in demand but there is still little professional training available.  Theatre-Rites provides unique opportunities to develop both your puppetry and visual storytelling

Discover more about our 2-day intensive puppetry training course and our half day teacher’s CPD session HERE.
