At regular intervals I invite a group of people to my studio to create an impromptu puppet play. The sessions are around 2 to 2.5 hours long and start out with – nothing :). First the participants as a group have to come up with a storyline and then act it out with the puppets, while I take still  images. Invariably the story deviates from the original storyline as the afternoon progresses. Over the next 24 hours I produce the final film from the raw material.

I also run workshops in public places such as art galleries and community centres.
