Workshops with Réka Deák

I am deeply passionate about working with children and young people of all ages, guiding them through the magical world of puppetry. In my workshops, participants are invited into a space where their inner world and imagination can come alive.

The essence of puppetry is sharing experiences and sensations to better understand ourselves and the world around us. Puppet theatre offers powerful tools that help participants express their thoughts and emotions, visualize ideas, and transform creativity into storytelling.

Through building and animating puppets, children create entire worlds from scratch — exploring reality, shaping values, and strengthening social skills. This creative process stimulates imagination, sparks innovation, and opens new ways of engaging with the world through art.
