B&S puppeteering 2.JPG

Big & Small (BBC/Cbeebies)

I have written at length already about how wonderful this show is and now I can narrow it down to my favorite character: Big. To my mind Big would be in good company along side the Muppets I grew up with. In fact he would probably make them tea and have dinner warming in the oven for them.

I performed the right arm of Big and controlled his eye blink and eyebrow mechanism. Big is a live arm puppet which means the puppets arms are essentially a glove and the lead puppeteer can only perform one while voicing and performing the character. It takes enormous co-ordination in tight quarters to synchronize the performance and bring the character to life.
