September and October 2021, Dead Puppet Society and arTour toured Puppetry Manipulation and Construction Workshops to Western Queensland.

Regional towns on the tour included Blackall, Tambo, Boulia, Cunnamulla, Charleville, Julia Creek, Longreach, Quilpie, Thargomindah and Winton. Young people in these communities had the opportunity to learn about different joins and hinges and experiment with simple puppet mechanisms before putting it all together to bring their puppets to life.

Tour supported by the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation and arTour, an initiative of the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
