LSP performs at "Hatch" in Bradford

On Thursday 5th March, Kate, Emma, Kat, Kay and Caroline performed a variety of puppetry pieces at the Bradford Playhouse's third 'Hatch' night. 'Hatch' is the theatre's new experimental arts showcase night, with a programme packed with an eclectic variety of performance, film, installation and participatory activity, including:

* Stand-up Comedy by Sheila Stone
* Video installations by Janie Nicholl and Richard Crookes
* Sewing with the Bradford Playhouse wardrobe ladies
* Short films by Andy Sykes, Sarah Barbasch, Sven Shaw, Lucy Barker, Benjamin Richards and Of Dreaming Faces
* Musical performance by Gnu and the Shrew

The audiences were very warm and encouraging, and we had a great response from our performances. Here are some photos from the night:

Our puppetry programme for the night (as you can see, we performed our 'hand ballet' from the glove puppetry playtime - and it was well received!)
