This explains recent Ramshackle Theatre
productions and shows the development of
the use of storytelling and puppetry which has
become the style of The Yarn Spinner.
In 2003 Fiona Angwin and Daniel Jeffrey teamed up and the
company started to develop a new style, in which storytelling was
mixed with performance and puppetry, and multiple stories were
told within each production, but were always held together by a
theme and a strong through-storyline.
These shows proved popular in schools across the country. The
company then moved its work outdoors, Fiona and Dan working
together to make the life-sized realistic puppets and creating the
shows which were performed in forests across the country in the
summers of 2007 & 2008.
(In Autumn 2008 Fiona wrapped up Ramshackle Theatre to
concentrate on developing her work as "The Yarn Spinner".)
