Puppetry.

Phoebe started puppeteering whilst working as a volunteer at The Little Angel Theatre where she then went on to both assistant direct and perform in their shows. She works across multiple puppetry forms including: 3 person, small scale, shadow/ohp, mouth flap, VFX, Large scale, table top and object manipulation.

In 2021 Phoebe was part of the Tunbridge wells puppetry festival and her film ‘perspectives’ created on an OHP projector won the rising puppetry talent award.
