About Storytelling & Puppetry Workshops
I love showing how stories and puppets can light up a room, no matter who’s in it. My workshops are all about making creativity feel easy and real, not stiff or scary. Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, or just someone who wants to try something new, there’s space here for you.
What Happens in My Workshops
- Everything’s hands-on. We move, laugh, and try things out together.
- You’ll get practical tips for creative learning with puppets. I don’t expect you to become a master overnight, but you’ll leave with ideas you can use right away.
- I bring the workshops to your space - schools, offices, community spots, or anywhere people want to try interactive storytelling for kids or adults.
Sessions for Different Folks
- Educators: Simple tricks to make lessons pop. Voice games, rhythm, and classroom puppetry ideas you can use the next day, even for STEM topics.
- Parents & Teams: Want story-based team building activities or to make bedtime stories unforgettable? We play, experiment, and swap ideas you won’t find in a textbook.
- Kids (5+): We create puppets, invent characters, and put on mini shows. I promise - it’s messy, loud, and loads of fun.
I often hear, “Akka, our cheeks are hurting from laughing!” That’s what keeps me going. If you’re curious, come join the madness - all you need is an open mind and a bit of wonder.

Talking Turtles Storytellers

My Story
Started with just my little sister listening to my stories, now it's stages packed with folks of all ages. Mango summers, sticky fingers, laughter with my mum - that's the vibe I chase in every show. Talking Turtles came from the old talkative turtle tale, but in our version, the turtle finds his voice and his spark. Stories and puppets, that's my jam. Simple, messy joy - always.
