Puppet Animation Festival 2016:
Family Theatre Performances
DUVET DAY (Old Saw, England)
We’re staying in bed all day. So put on your
snuggliest pyjamas, bring your very best toy
and crawl inside the blanket fort to play –
it’s duvet day!
With puppets and original stories to share
with your little ones in a multi sensory theatre
experience for babies under 18 months. Did
we mention the blanket fort?
Old Saw is an independent theatre company
founded by Greta Clough and Siggi Lindal. We
believe good stories deserve to be told over
and over again. We tell them. Whether it’s a
classic play or a new script from an unknown
writer – a poem, a song, a novel, a picture
book Old Saw strives to tell excellent stories.
Wherever, however, for and by whoever. Our
work is largely puppetry based with a strong
narrative focus, creating inspiring theatre for
children and adult audiences alike.
Please book tickets to avoid disappointment.

BIG vs small
Totally new and exciting tech this Easter!
Bring along something you love or find
interesting. It might be a toy, action
hero, your favour pair of trainers or just
something you wonder what it would look
like 3D printed. Don’t bring something too
precious or the pet cat (they don’t sit still to
be scanned…!). Work with our digital artist
who will teach you how to scan and play
around with scale. At the end we will save
your design and get printing. Examples or
other printed objects and our printer will be
with us to see how the magic works.
This workshop is a bit more technical
so our wonderful artist has suggested a
slightly older age range or bring along a
parent to help with the technical stuff.
