Interactive Puppet Shows and Storytelling Performances
I bring old tales into new rooms using puppets, music, and a bit of drama. Whether for a school, a festival, or a home birthday, my shows are designed to get everyone giggling, gasping, and participating.
This is the moment I live for. The pure, unfiltered joy when a child connects with a story and a puppet becomes their friend. This is what my interactive puppet shows are all about, creating a space for imagination to run wild.
Every story needs a little drama. Here, I'm retelling a classic folktale, using my voice and actions to pull the audience into the adventure. You can feel the suspense in the air as everyone, young and old, hangs on to every word.
Meet some of my furry co-stars. Each puppet has a distinct personality, and their playful arguments and conversations are a huge part of my shows. They aren't just props; they are the heart of the story.
From school auditoriums to bustling brand events, my puppets and I are ready to perform anywhere. This clip from a family day at IKEA shows how we adapt our stories to create a memorable experience for corporate events and festivals.
A storyteller is nothing without their audience. This picture captures the incredible energy I get from performing for schools. It’s a partnership where we create the magic together, one laugh and gasp at a time.
It’s the small details that bring a puppet to life. This is a snippet from a performance where a tiny snail puppet stole the show. My shows blend puppetry and oral storytelling to create a complete theatrical experience.
Listening to stories is serious work. This beautiful shot captures a child completely lost in a tale. My goal is to create an immersive experience where the outside world fades away, and only the story remains.
The best feedback comes straight from the heart. Hearing from parents after a show is the greatest reward. It reminds me why I do what I do: to create joyful, shared experiences for the whole family.
About Featured
My setup is entirely portable. I bring a professional 6ft by 4ft puppet booth and a PA system, which means I can turn almost any space—be it a living room, a school auditorium, or a corporate lawn—into a theatre within 30 minutes of arrival. All I need from you is a group of listeners and enough floor space for the stage.
While the puppet booth provides the structure, the real magic happens in the interaction. I don't just perform at an audience; I build a conversation with them. My shows blend oral storytelling with live puppetry, music, and movement to keep children and adults alike fully engaged.
What to Expect in a Performance
- Live Puppetry: My co-stars, like Paprika the chicken or the Talking Turtle, are characters with big personalities. They argue, sing, and often steal the show.
- Interactive Folktales: I draw from the Jataka, Panchatantra, and global folktales, adapting the rhythm and vocabulary to suit the specific age group of the room.
- Movement & Music: Expect fingerplays, claps, and singalongs. I make sure the energy stays high, and the children are physically involved in the storytelling journey.
- Custom Adaptation: Whether you need a STEM-based story for a school assembly or a humorous performance for a family event, I write and adapt scripts to match your theme.
Where I Perform
I travel across India to bring these stories to life. My experience ranges from intimate birthday parties for toddlers to high-energy corporate engagement slots for 50+ guests. For private events, I focus on personalization, even incorporating the birthday child's name into the narrative. For corporate and public events, I utilize crowd-work techniques designed to capture attention in high-noise environments. If you are planning an event, let me know the vibe you are going for, and we can pick the perfect tale.
Talking Turtles Storytellers
I am Shreedevi Sunil, and my puppets are my best friends. I have spent 14 years taking folktales from my childhood and reimagining them for audiences everywhere, from crowded school halls to quiet living rooms. If you are looking for a performance that feels like a conversation rather than a lecture, you have found the right place.
