Erth Puppetry Masterclasses (School Years 1-9)
These tailored sessions are an incredible opportunity for young artists to explore the magic of puppetry with some of the country’s most experienced and inventive makers and performers.
From Scott:
I’m excited to let you know that I’ll be returning to Canberra this September/October to reconnect with you and to lead a series of workshops and masterclasses designed to deepen your puppetry skills.
Over two hours, we’ll explore a range of puppetry conventions and devising techniques, with a strong focus on manipulation and performance. We’ll be working with some of the puppets you’ve previously encountered, as well as introducing new ones. It’s a great opportunity to further develop your technique and storytelling through puppetry.
Looking forward to working with you again!

Creative Laboratories: Puppetry Intensive for Ages 16–25
A more intensive Creative Laboratories series, this program offers a deep dive into puppetry and performance, culminating in a live showing for family and friends.
From Scott:
I’m heading back to Canberra soon and am really looking forward to working with you again – especially to help build on your puppetry skills. Later this year, I’ll be teaching a 10-day masterclass in Italy, and I wanted to offer you a special 4-day version of that experience.
Over the four days, we’ll design and construct puppets, learn performance and manipulation techniques, and devise short works that we’ll present in a showing at the end of the process. Our creative focus will be on the theme of “loss/lost”, and I’ll be sending you a list of materials to collect in advance. These materials will form the basis of your puppets – beautiful, unique creatures brought to life through your hands and imaginations.
I can’t wait to see what we create together.
