Smethwick Puppetry Festival Presents:

FREE puppetry and theatre workshop for neurodivergent young people!

Spectrum Youth Theatre (SYT) is a puppetry focused youth theatre for neurodiverse young people.

SYT uses boundless imagination to create fantastic shows about the things that matter.

The SYT Residency is a 2 day workshop, during which participants will design and build their own puppets, devise a story, write a script and create a group film.

The theme is Desert Island, letting our imaginations run wild with all the creatures that have washed up on its shores and made the island their home.

Delivered by award winning puppetry and visual theatre company, Smoking Apples (Kinder, Buzz & Three), this FREE workshop is a chance to make, create and meet new friends.

Dates: Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st January 2027
