Teaching Artist
Theresa O'Connor leads Puppet Making and Manipulation workshops for all ages.
She is also a Puppetry Coach on theatre and television productions.
Puppet Styles include shadow puppets, paper puppets, hand puppets, marionettes and rod puppets.
Programs can be developed for the company, school or festival and often have a presentation or performance at the conclusion.
Previous projects include Kalgoorlie Boulder Puppet Theatre; Heart of Gold Festival Puppet Making Workshop; Creative Challenge Residency with Awesome Arts; Tasdance Performing Arts School program; Slipstream Circus' Get a Grip; Carclew's Kid Central; Red Hot Arts The Package; and Adelaide City Library.
"Theresa was a pleasure to work with; she was professional at all times with both myself and the students, and her passion for puppetry was contagious! Our students thoroughly enjoyed both the excursion to the theatre and their workshop in school; some students even went home and made their own shadow puppets using the techniques Theresa had taught them."
