You can catch Larrikin Puppets performing at the 2024 Gympie Music Muster on the Mini Main Stage in the Kids Country Area. Sunday 25 August, 2024. Puppet Show at 10am, Puppetry Performance Workshop at 12pm, and then another Puppet Show at 2pm.
Our puppet show is a lively, interactive comedy packed with colorful skits, jokes, games, dancing, and original songs like “Dance Like A Unicorn,” which you might have heard on Spotify, Apple Music, Kinderling, or ABC Kids Listen. At the end, we reveal the magic behind our puppets!
The 45-minute show is a big hit with younger children, especially those under 7, thanks to its engaging themes of kindness, creative play, and the joy of puppetry. It’s a crowd-pleaser that always brings smiles and laughter, and we reckon families at the Gympie Music Muster will get a big kick out of it!
Our puppet show was awarded “Best Kids Live Show” at the national What’s On 4 Kids Awards in 2021.
For older kids, our Puppetry Performance Workshop is a fantastic option. This hands-on workshop dives into Muppet-style puppetry, where students learn about lip sync, eye focus, movement, and character voices. With 50 professional puppets available, it’s a great way for students to build confidence, improve communication skills, and have a blast!
The 1-hour workshop starts with a short puppet show to demonstrate puppet performance and includes an educational talk about different puppetry styles. It’s engaging for ages 8 and up, and even teenagers find it exciting. Learning how to perform with Muppet-style puppets is a first for the Gympie Music Muster.
Our workshop won the People’s Choice Award for “Best School Aged Activity (Ages 5-12)” at the national What’s On 4 Kids Awards in 2021.
