BiographyHistory

'Terrapin Puppet Theatre was founded on 22 April 1981 by the late Jennifer Davidson, one of the designers of the defunct Tasmanian Puppet Theatre.

'Terrapin is exploring digital puppetry, which uses new technologies and cross platform practice to continually challenge and redefine puppetry as a visual theatre form. Terrapin creates new works through research and developmental processes that are designed specifically for each work. Whilst Terrapin reaches to the future in its exploration of form and story telling styles, it does so with its feet firmly grounded in the age-old craft of puppetry and theatre's rich traditions. Terrapin's productions engage all age groups and are designed to tour.'
