DOGWOOD PRODUCTIONS
Creative Creatures!
Four schools' workshops, two days of storytelling and puppet making and bringing to life Whitby's giant crab!
Dogwood partnered with four other creative organisations and using the theme of the work of iconic naturalist, Sir Joseph Banks, local schoolchildren and festival goers brought to life puppets of the wild life he encountered on his expeditions to the southern oceans with Captain Cook. In all, Banks brought back no less than 30,000 samples of the different plants and animals he encountered, so there was plenty to choose from!
The weekend also included storytelling with the support of Whitby Library and the National Literacy Trust.
The weekend came to a magnificent close when the giant crab, built by puppeteer, Robbie Bellekom and local schoolchildren, went walkabout at the festival site.
