Over the last few days we have been doing a work shop to produce a singing puppets "yes you got it right singing puppets"!

To start with we were put into groups and had to deign our puppets, we also had to choose a genre of music that it would sing to, this would also reflect the puppets style. My group agreed to do glam-rock , we really liked the styles of make up and clothes glam-rock people wear.

We found inspiration from a band called 'Kiss' an

d then we started to design the puppet. We based our design around the style in which Tim Burton's films are made for example The nightmare before christmas with the obviously sewn together parts and gothic, creepy look.

The whole puppet was quite complicated to put together because we had to think about combined all the separate components, I think we worked well as a group and we got everything we wanted to get done and I think it looked very much like our design and so we are all very happy with it.

When the puppets were singing along to the

backing track I think it looked really good and worked well.

It was a really interesting three day workshop and I learnt a lot about textile design and the mechanics and programing behind sound.
