Art forms in existence and is practised
all over the world.
Digital Media is one of the newest.
TV and Film Puppetry combines
both.

About TV
Hand Puppetry
Hand Puppets and Puppetry Feature
extensively in Feature Films.

Street and The Muppets right up to Citv's currently
airing Bookaboo. (Marcus Clarke
is Bookaboo)

Avenue Q, The Lion King and Warhorse
On the Internet they proliferate. Go to YouTube type
puppets.
What happens in the TV Puppetry Workshop?
Students listen to an authors talk (Marcus
Clarke) and see examples of TV Puppets in action.
They then work in small teams to create a piece
of creative writing. A play script. With guidance
and instruction from Marcus they then help to create and
participate in a TV Puppeteering performance which they workshop
and rehearse to work up. Learning about TV Puppetry
and Puppeteering, Animation, Performance, Film and Media
creation. Students then record it making their own a Short Film.
A Short Film with perhaps a social message. About anything
they like. About whatever interests them. Students are then able to
upload it to the Internet. To an outlet like YouTube.
To promote themselves and to advertise their new skills
and
talents to potential
employers. Here's one I made earlier 'Bill the Beaver'
on Google
Video and on YouTube
Corporate and Educational
Courses created on a bespoke
basis for
corporate and educational clients.

Marcus Clarke is a rarity. He has
a track record of absolute quality and a unique ability
to relate to children. He has a gentle style which appeals
to staff and pupils alike.The experiences he has had enable children
to recall his TV characters and his puppets literally speak for
themselves.
Marcus is a class act, a unique talent
who gives you the full facts behind his trade, I can thoroughly
recommend his visit/assembly talk. Philip Ball. Primary
School Head Teacher.
Marcus Clarke is a gifted puppeteer and entertainer.
He took my students through a whole new set of ideas about where
stories come from, and how to create a sense of reality. His take
is a refreshing break with conventional modes of teaching people to
write. Farah Mendlesohn
