Puppetry and Choreography for Arts Teachers with Dead Puppet Society and Queensland Ballet

Puppetry & Choreography for Arts Teachers is a dynamic full-day professional learning workshop designed for generalist and specialist primary teachers, as well as middle-years Dance and Drama educators. Guided by Dead Puppet Society’s Youth and Engagement Director and Queensland Ballet’s Education Manager, participants will explore how puppetry and movement composition can enrich storytelling and movement in the classroom through curriculum-aligned practical puppetry and movement-making exercises.

Inspired by Amelia Waller’s Curious Beings, created in collaboration with Dead Puppet Society for Queensland Ballet’s 2025 Bespoke season, this workshop links directly to ACARA v9 Dance and Drama (P–10). The day offers hands-on experience in puppet building and manipulation skills, movement and choreography, along with adaptable classroom-ready lesson ideas, creative resources, and real-world insights into the power of interdisciplinary arts practice.
