About Olly
Having always
been interested in puppetry growing up, as a teenager Olly helped
create and run a puppet theatre troupe. After studying Film and
Broadcast Production he then became a full time freelance puppeteer
working in the media and on stage. He has worked with the likes of
The Little Angel Theatre, The Jim Henson Company,
The Muppets, Darrall MacQueen, Kindle
Entertainment to name a few.
Olly has been
fortunate enough to work with many talented fellow puppeteers on a
vast array of different projects. In some instances he voices and
creates individual characters, whilst in others collaborates with
several other puppeteers to bring one figure to life. He has
performed or worked alongside many popular characters and
brands.
He is skilled in operating all styles of puppets from glove puppets through complex animatronics to full suit style characters.
Olly is always happy to talk about your new project. Ranging from performing a new character, to pulling together a team of puppeteers and giving puppetry advice on the staging and realisation of your project.
Don't hesitate
