The Curious School of Puppetry, founded in 2015 by Sarah Wright, is an artist-led UK organisation dedicated to advancing puppetry through professional training, collaboration, and advocacy.

The school offers immersive, hands-on courses for artists and theatre-makers to develop skills in puppetry performance, theatre-making, and storytelling. It champions inclusivity and diversity, nurturing a vibrant community from beginners to professionals. With initiatives like Get Curious and Curious Professional, the school supports artistic growth and sector innovation. Curious believes puppetry connects communities and empowers creativity, fostering exploration of new expressive possibilities in this versatile art form.

Sarah Wright of the Curious School of Puppetry: ”Curious is artist-led and focuses on puppetry performance, theatre making, and collaboration. It provides an archive, a reference library, material resources and a training programme for adults who are seeking to expand their professional work and it supports workshops for children and young people. Puppetry is a medium which connects people across cultures and communities and explores new ways to communicate our understanding of the world around us.”
