Hopscotch Theatre Company

2022

       

 Designed and Created by Myself

​

This panto toured around Scotland to different schools and communities, celebrating woman in STEM. There was three tours happening at the same time so I was asked to create 3 copies of each prop.

​

 Milky White Cow: Using a pattern from an already made milky white puppet, I edited the design to be more child friendly. Including big eyes to add character and give it the panto feel. The body is made from EVA foam, cotton fabric and willow.   

Growing Beanstalk: In this version of the show, Jack was a young girl interested in STEM. The beanstalk therefor grew from a magic experiment she created. I was asked to create a beanstalk that could magically grow from a bucket, with no actors near it on stage. I created a pully system that went over the flat to create the illusion.

Giant hands: The Giant hands and arms were created to come apart for transportation. They where made from fabric and was supported by a wooden pole. I painted into the fabric to add more detail.
