Educators
Educate, Challenge, Inspire.
Based in a multicultural society like Singapore, the Paper Monkey Theatre hopes to further develop professional puppet performances and workshops focusing on Asia, to students of all ages.
With an experienced team of instructors, Paper Monkey Theatre will work together with the schools to help achieve these goals. Teachers will also have the option to consult the organisation on theatre-related matters such as set, prop and costume design.
Many of our programmes are eligible for the NAC-AEP Tote Board Arts Grant scheme.
