⬤ LITTLE ANGEL THEATRE

In this new online series, Little Angel’s very own Little Angel puppet will meet and interview some of the talented puppet designers we work with, finding out more about their experiences of puppetry design and why they love working in the field. Each designer will also bring along an easy puppet make that children can follow along at home. We have a very special guest this week: Angel meets puppet maker, puppeteer and former Little Angel Puppetry Trainee Shaun Lati, whose work for Little Angel includes Junk and Little Angel by the Sea.

⬤ SADLER’S WELLS

Take part in fun family dance workshops designed for children aged 2 to 6 years (and big kids too!) In this creative movement workshop we follow the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Skip through the forest, sneak in to the house on your tiptoes like Goldilocks, and find out what happens when the Three Bears arrive home! The sessions are designed for children aged 2 to 6 years but many of the activities offer a fun challenge for older primary school children too. These workshops are specially created for families with younger children to do from home while nurseries and schools are closed. They form part of Sadler’s Wells’ ‘Take Part’ series. The workshops are led by Cherie Coleman, who runs the popular Family Fridays sessions at Sadler’s Wells. Movement activities like these have a range of benefits – they can enhance cognitive development, encourage creativity, increase flexibility and range of movement, and help to develop physical strength and stamina.
