​

​Designed the puppets for Birmingham Hippodrome's first new musical "The Jingleclaw." I designed the titular character "The Jingleclaw" and her bat sidekicks. 

​

"The Jingleclaw costume is a smorgasbord of moving parts including giant furry arms ending in claws, and huge eyes and gaping teeth. Reminiscent of the Spanish artist Joan Miró, these giant eyes and chomping teeth separate from the main body so they can dance around the stage as part of an ensemble or as individual elements. Laura Cubitt’s movement and puppetry direction brings much of the show alive. Mikayla Teodoro’s bat puppets are cheeky and fun, chasing round the Jingleclaw, hanging upside down and generally causing mayhem."
