“You killed it at the puppets, you’re super talented and I really appreciate what you do for the kids thanks so much!”
“You are an AMAZING puppeteer (if that’s the word). Your characters, voices and synchronization are superb. The black light concept was very interesting.”
Thank you, Columbia Basin Trust, and CKCA for your funding has made it possible to expand and grow in the art of puppetry.
What does the KPP tour offer for Kootenay communities today in 2020/21?

We then offer a cultural story telling of our Indigenous roots of the area by collaborating with eachother and with elders of the land. Our final piece is to fuse our games, puppet building ,story collaboration and our unique puppet performance for a memorable and transformational experience, that we share with YOUR community or event.
