Puppetry, Outdoor Theatre, Performance.
Altered Scale Theatre is a storytelling, puppetry and theatre company that focuses on creating exceptional performances for all ages.
We also collaborate with other companies making puppets for theatre, outdoor events as well as commissions.

He has 20 years of performing experience both on stage, as a street theatre performer and with puppetry as an artform.
He has performed with companies like Royal de Luxe (France) Tall Stories, and designed puppets and performed with Fuse Theatre, Unity Theatre, Walk The Plank, Artemis Productions and National Museums Liverpool . His shows include “I’m Happy Here (Honest)” a solo performance project where he collaborated with a team of artists working as producer & performer. He is an associate artist for Action Transport Theatre and Artemis Productions, collaborating with both companies regularly.
