A key tool that makes our work unique is the use of the puppet.

Puppetry breaks down cultural and disciplinary boundaries, puts people on an equal footing and allows participants to express themselves without inhibition.

In organisations or teams that are dealing with change or conflict, the puppet is the perfect tool and has been used for centuries to deal with sensitive issues.

Puppetry does not require expression through language. Developing these non-verbal communication skills is especially useful, seeing as modern communication, with its emphasis on technology, is often lacking these subtle skills.

A non-verbal emphasis works especially well in multi-cultural institutions or where participants feel nervous or are not used to expressing themselves. It provides a bridge for participants to feel comfortable in themselves and with others before moving on to articulate ideas that they previously may not have had the courage to express.

Being a kinaesthetic art, participants are actively involved in the entire process. Engagement is maximal, and learning is enhanced in speed, depth and effectiveness.

Being focused in the moment, slowing down and breathing, are skills intrinsic to puppetry and essential to personal and organisational health.
