Little Angel Theatre is a home for puppetry. Since its doors first opened in 1961 the theatre has been dedicated to creating and sharing inspiring stories. Puppetry is at the heart of this innovative theatre, from igniting the
imaginations of the youngest minds to equipping tomorrow’s puppeteers with the tools they need to succeed. As well as being an internationally recognised theatre with productions touring throughout the UK and across the globe, Little Angel Theatre also has its roots in Islington, and works with its local, diverse community to break down barriers to arts engagement so all can benefit and enjoy this remarkable art form.

“Little Angel is nothing less than an icon of north London childhood” Time Out, 2016

In 2017 GOSH Arts invited Theatre-Rites to spend a Residency on the Koala (neurological) Ward of Great Ormond Street Hospital to further develop our Animating The Brain project. We took our wonderful Robot Puppet (made by Stitches and Glue) to meet children and young people and their families, and we also spent invaluable time talking to clinicians.

This project is a celebration of all those who participated, of the wonderful NHS, of the bravery of families facing adversity with creativity and of the work of neuroscientists.

We are ready now to meet more children and to encourage further discussion, debate and play!

Learn all about animation in this video from Matthew Robins. Designed for adults to watch together with children, the film provides inspiration, ideas, advice and practical tips on how to make your own paper-collage, stop-motion animation.

Matthew demonstrates using the app ‘I Can Animate’ on an iPad – it’s very simple and accessible to use.

The film is divided into 5 sections:

1. Animation is Fun
2. Paper Collage Animation
3. Story and Story Board
4. Equipment
5. Animating your Story
