For this year’s Resonate festival, members of Studio Ballydehob and artist Tess Leak are hosting a special Puppet Dance Party!
Studio Ballydehub are a group of artists based in the CoAction Hub in Ballydehob who have collaborated with Tess on a variety of projects over the past two years, including the creation of a collection of eccentric glove puppets. During this workshop we will bring the puppets to life with all kinds of music and madness, proving that puppets are for adults too!
Join us for a morning of puppetry-based joy and mayhem where all participants are ensured of a warm welcome.
