What is a Puppet Pop-Up?

Puppet Pop-Up is a fun family event of puppet making and performing workshops that happen at different locations in Calgary. The program was launched in 2015. We are always interested in securing fun partner locations.

We actively promote all family members, youngsters and elders, in creating art and drama together and accommodate all skills and ages.

What is a Partnership?

Does your organization or business have, or have access to, a meeting or activity room that could accommodate from 20- 30 people for a puppet making and performing workshop? Or perhaps you host an outside event or facility such as Calgary Pride Festival or a Community Picnic Day.

Our Goals:

  • Extend our creative program to a diversity of people of all ages, ethnicity and communities

  • Meet our mandate to impact positive social change

  • Promote puppetry as fun and engaging art form that connects people and community

  • Engage youth in our program through Youth Central's volunteer program

What's in it for your organization or business?

  • Host a fun and educational family program at your location

  • Reach a new and expanded audience

  • Include your clients, members or participants in the workshop

  • Potentially use the event as a fundraiser
