Testimonials
“Thanks for having our boys. They absolutely enjoyed the Puppets and Shadows workshop. It was interactive and engaging. They came home with lots of stories to share. They absolutely enjoyed making their puppets and decided to put on a show for us at home too. Can’t wait for the next workshop to have them come along.”

“My daughter Ocean recently attended Ana and Sergio’s Shadow and Puppet Theatre Workshop, and I honestly could
not recommend the workshop and Ana and Sergio highly enough!
The magic they created together over the 6 days was incredible! Ocean was absolutely beaming at the end of each
day, full of excitement to share her stories of their amazing days work, bursting with pride at the creations they had
made, saying she couldn’t wait to return the following morning.
It was heartwarming to witness Ocean’s confidence grow over the 6 days. She started out on day one feeling shy
and uncomfortable introducing herself to the class, then by day 6 she was proudly up on stage infront of an
audience, oozing with confidence, as she showcased the beautiful puppets they had made while putting on a Puppet
show.
The energy, warmth, and magic Ana and Sergio bought to the class was really special, they have an amazing way
with children, helping them to feel at ease and excited to learn, and are both incredibly gifted Puppeteers!”

“Ana and Sergio have that special gift of being alongside a child with respect, fun, and curiosity. It shows in how the
interact, and the care and love they bring to their workshops.
My son has loved both the circus and juggling workshop and the latest Puppetry workshop. He has told me to book
him in to any and all workshops Ana and Sergio facilitate!!
Their passion for what tthey do, their mastery of their craft, their outside the box thinking….are such wonderful
examples for our children.
Thank you so very much!”

“My kids absolutely loved the Shadow Puppet workshop during the holidays. They enjoyed learning about different kinds of puppets and loved being able to do the performance for us at the end to showcase their own creations. They said they liked working with the theme of the elements earth, fire, water and air and were proud of the parts they got to play in the performance. I thought the length of the workshop was perfect too.”

“I think nobody like the children to value the work and the effectiveness of teaching English with puppets, so I talk about the work of Ana Lorite through the mouths of my two children:
” I want Ana to always be my teacher “.
I have never seen children as excited about an activity as when they arrived home after having a class with her. It may seem excessively flattering, but it has made the combination of children-English and puppets have a winning result with the little ones and that learning the language for them is something charged with illusion and fantasy. “

“Our 6 year old son has really enjoyed Naranjarte’s Puppets and Shadow workshop! I had the chance to watch the children in action during the beautiful end of the workshop performance and they were all having so much fun! It would be great if we can have more of these workshops in Hamilton. Thank you Ana and Sergio for this wonderful opportunity for our children :)”

“Thanks for the amazing experience. Camilo came back home super happy and excited to show us his puppets. He came straight to keep drawing more monster puppets and then he moved to play with his toys. We can see that this workshop really sparked our son’s imagination. It was super cool to see him not request TV for a while after he came back. This evening we were all playing in the dining room with the puppets, the lights, and the shadows. I would totally recommend this workshop and would love to see more of it in the future. Thanks Naranjarte!”
