Emerging Company Puppeteer

A groundbreaking public art and climate initiative designed to inspire action and renew our bond with the natural world. From April to August 2025, life-size puppet animals stormed through city centers on a 20,000km journey from Kinshasa in the Congo Basin to Nordkapp in the Arctic Circle, fleeing climate disaster.

As an Emerging Company member, I toured as part of the core team in The Herds. Working in a team of 3, I performed as a Wildebeest (Head and Heart), Kudu (Heart), Zebra (Hind and Head), Red Deer (Head) and finally Reindeer (Head).
