Rhianna Yates

Innovative puppets, sculptures and costumes to conjure whimsical performances.

With a background in performance, my artistic approach is built on a deep understanding of how an audience will interact with an art work. My aim is to always evoke an emotional response, whether that be with a narrative the work denotes due to its materials, symbolism or direct audience engagement.

I have a passion for illusion or surrealism and I aim to dazzle audiences by bringing the suspension of disbelief, the true embodiment of theatre, to every project. I specialise in large scale puppets or sculptures and wearable art using a range of techniques, from wood to willow, Latex casts to foam carves, even metal and fire!
