Producer/Director: Symon Macintyre (www.puppet-lab.com)
Symon Macintyre is a producer and director with a reputation for innovative dramatic work, often striving to challenge the conceived limits of “puppetry”, as a hybrid dramatic form. His recent projects have been typically wide-ranging, including the acclaimed puppet-drama, EH6, and Channel 5’s children’s show, Woolamaloo. Having recently returned from a seven month research tour, performing and meeting with puppeteers throughout Asia, Australia and North America, Symon is bursting with even more inspiration and more contagious enthusiasm than ever.
