ReCreation offers you a unique experience of puppetry in the lovely
Yorkshire Dales. Combine walking and site-seeing in Yorkshire with puppetry. Puppets, equipment, practical guidance and books are
available for participants to create performances, or create freely in a
completely unstructured way with no particular end result. The aim of
the break is to offer a period of refreshment through puppetry as an art
form with its own special qualities whether you are an experienced
puppeteer, or a complete beginner. All you need is energy and commitment to having a really good time.
ReCreation is available and may be bought for from a week to month. There is also a one week marionette-making activity you can join. Currently dates available are:
12th June-12th July 2012 Rod puppetry
4th August-1st September 2012 Glove puppetry
24th September-21st October 2012 Shadow puppetry
9th January -15th January 2013 Marionette Carving (£250.00)

If you are hoping to take the Distance Learning Diploma in Professional Puppetry, these holidays are the ideal preparation and can be purchased at a much lower rate
Accommodation is available in the village for puppeteers at very reasonable rents from £80.00 per week.
