About Collette Knowles

I am artistic director of Rough Magic Theatre, and I have been performing and making puppets since 1999. I have a Drama and Arts Education degree from the great Bretton Hall College, (Yay!). I started the great loves/obsessions of my life in about 1997, (Celebratory Arts, Street Theatre and last but definitely not least Puppetry). I am also an actor, artist, musician and all the other different roles necessary in the field of puppet theatre.

A visit to Newcastle Puppetry Festival 2023

We visited Newcastle with the kiddies to see the “menagerie of beasts” in “Beasts on the Street” and the “Wor Seahorse Spectacle”.

This was a big treat for us all as I had not been to Newcastle City Centre for a very long time and Tim and the kids had never been. We were keen to experience a little bit of Moving Parts Arts marvellous puppetry festival and as you can see, a good time was had by all!
