You will be working with Erth’s professional artists to learn how to operate puppets and be involved in the development a future show ‘Locus’.

Additionally, you will use your new skills to be a part of the widely acclaimed Erth's Dinosaur Zoo which invites children to experience ancient animals up close. You’ll work with awesome prehistoric creatures, from cute baby dinos to some of the largest carnivores and herbivores that have ever walked the planet!

You will be making Erth’s dinosaurs ‘alive’ to connect to audiences during this fun and interactive performance.

This extraordinarily imaginative show delights audiences from 5 years and up.

Here are some reviews about the show:

“Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo delivers solid science as well as an extraordinary spectacle.”
New York Times (USA)

“This is very clever, beautifully constructed and hugely entertaining children’s entertainment from an outfit that implicitly respects its audience and doesn’t talk down to them.”
The Daily Telegraph (Australia)

“Parents and grandparents seemed just as awestruck as the kids at the technical brilliance…”
The Manchester Evening News (UK)

“A delightful and educational date with the dinos”
The Chicago Tribune (USA)
