...collaborating with people and places to imagine and grow puppetry & visual performance art
Shows & Touring
'making the ordinary magical'
I design, create and perform inventive and imaginative shows that communicate traditional stories using puppetry and playful transformations of objects & materials integrating light, projection and sound elements. Solo performance pieces in repertoire are intimate and responsive to people and the places they play.
Joy Haynes Little Chair Projects tours nationally to schools, venues & festivals from my base in Norfolk, UK.
