In June/July 2025, I participated as a puppeteer with THE HERDS, helping to make puppets in Manchester and performing 5 shows in London.  THE HERDS are the case study for my PhD research into the communicative efficacies of climate change themed large puppets in public space.  

​

Directed by Amir Nizar Zuabi and produced by The Walk Productions, THE HERDS is ground breaking public art and climate initiative designed to inspire action and renew our bond with the natural world. From April to August 2025, life-size puppet animals stormed through city centres on a 20,000km journey from Kinshasa in the Congo Basin to Nordkapp in the Arctic Circle, fleeing climate disaster.  More information about THE HERDS can be found on their website here:
