Purple Capsicum Puppets worked with Ambulance Victoria and Solid
Media to design, make, and manipulate Stretch, an 80cm teddy bear
puppet with not much between his ears - but his heart is definitely in
the right place.
The team loved Stretch so much, we made another 6 Stretch bears
to tour Victorian primary schools from 2010.

Commissioned by the Yarra Rangers Shire as part of the Victorian Bushfire
Recovery Program, the workshops were based around the picture book "Wombat
goes Walkabout" and were to address the theme of resilience for children aged 4
years old. Over three months we researched and developed a comprehensive
model resulting in a 2 hour workshop. Over the duration the children were read the
story, sang songs, made a wombat puppet, solved problems, built cubby houses,
became 'parent' to their puppet and helpers to their friends.
The workshops ran in Kindergartens and Day Care Centres during 2010 and 2011.

'Outfoxed’ is a shadow puppetry performance promoting 'Fox Free
Tasmania'. Mr Trott is a debonair fox that has eaten his way across
the globe to Tasmania. Here he discovers our native animals and
begins to gobble them down. Inside his stomach, a magpie, echidna
and wallaby plot their revenge, but without the help of the Tassie
Devil, the plan may not work. A modern parable that happens to eat
David Attenborough, and accidentally explode Jamie Oliver.
