I was the producer and collaborative director on Corda. My goal was to support the team to create a clear, cohesive vision. I began writing Corda as a book when I was 16. Although fantasy within art and performance can be used for escapism, it can also subtly touch on subjects such as mental health and lonliness for those who struggle themselves. Puppets are similarly described to do the same. I am deeply greatful to my team and for the opportunity to bring this story to life.

Puppetry visual and musical storytelling.
