The Edinburgh Puppet Company is firmly established as a Scottish mixed media company with roots in puppetry, physical theatre and gestural theatre. The company often works with Guest directors designers and performers. We are supported by the City of Edinburgh Council , the Scottish Arts Council and The Sports and Arts Foundation. Our Artistic Statement: Advance and educate Children and young people through contact with the arts. Broaden our audiences to include children and adults with special needs. Commit to projects that take our work to deprived rural and inner-city areas. Develop through workshops, the skills of language, use of materials, problem solving , and communication. Encourage access to our productions in disadvantaged areas, by fair pricing and low cost initiatives. Feedback into new projects the views and aspirations of our audiences. Give children and families the opportunity to see innovate and educational theatre productions. http://www.edinburgh-puppet.co.uk
