Festivals and Promotions

“The puppet show was a spectacle for the eye. A treat for young and old and not to be missed. Highly recommended.” Mary Storey, Organiser, Dandenong Ranges Children’s Festival.

"I have no hesitation in recommending Christine's face painting, particularly given her flair and talent as an artist and her tremendous relationship with children." TR Bell, Co-ordinator, Stringybark Festival, Knox Council.

"Christine's face painting was great. Really well done. Lots of colour. The kids looked great. Very professional set up. Arrived on time. Very easy to deal with." Sam McLean, St Anne's Vineyard, Myrninong.

"We have used Christine's face painting service numerous times and will continue to do so in the future. Her work is of outstanding quality. She interacts well with children and is more than willing to adapt to individual business requirements." Justin Dinner - Assistant Manager, Best & Less, The Glen.

Parties

 "I booked Christine for my daughter’s 6th birthday party. The children were completely entranced and captivated by the puppet show and magnificent puppets. A most memorable party". Mrs Jennifer Alexander, Mother, Eltham.

 "Despite being a little concerned whether anyone could possibly hold the attention of 30 4 yr olds for close on an hour, I was amazed at how captivated all the children were during your entire performance. The parents who stayed through it said it was one of the best parties at which they had been. Again, thanks for such a high energy performance". Craig Mahony, Father, Birthday Party, Brighton.

"Christine's face painting was fantastic. The children and parents loved it. Very professional and her detail was faultless. I would thoroughly recommend Christine to anyone." Jackie Murley, Mother, Aspendale.

"The performance of Sleeping Beauty at my daughter's 6th birthday party was fantastic. Several of the children became so involved they believed they were in an enchanted castle. The feedback I received from all the parents was great and it is still being discussed now 3 weeks later. A birthday party never to forget (my daughter's words). Julie Howell, Mother, Wantirna South.

"Christine's face painting skills are exceptional and she is wonderful with children. The children loved their faces and the hardened partygoer was hear to say it was the best party she had ever been to. Christine was a great hit and made my daughter's birthday a very special day for all of us." Karen Fehling, Mother, Hampton.

Preschools

“The children were enthralled with the performance and sat entranced for 45 minutes. In this day and age of computers, television and Nintendos, it was so lovely to see a good old fashioned fairytale being bought to life by puppets, a medium which children adore.” Alison Humphreys, Director, Beacon Point Pre-School, Clifton Springs.

 “We all thought the puppet show performance was extremely professional, enjoyable, colourful and brilliantly performed. The puppets and props used were exceptional and the various characters and their voices kept our children enthralled. Weeks after the performance the children were still discussing this special event.” Michelle Boxhall, Kindergarten Teacher, Skye Children’s Co-op, McLeod, Victoria.

"The children thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Thank you so much. We were amazed at their attention and the questions they asked. A tribute to your ability to entertain and capture their interest and imaginations. Well done!" Mary and Sue, Early Childhood Centre, Carey Grammar School, Kew, Melbourne.

Primary Schools

“The children absolutely adored this excellent retell of Sleeping Beauty. One comment from a child as we left was “that was the best incursion we’ve ever had.” Melinda Airey, Hawthorn West Primary.

“The performance was absolutely outstanding. The quality of the production was amazing. The children were thoroughly engrossed in the story from beginning to end. Excellent student participation in the show. Excellent education session. The children were extremely keen to see the behind-the-scenes stuff.” Stephen, Stonnington Primary School, Windsor, Melbourne. 

“Exciting! Fantastic! Gripping, action packed, high quality, much attention to detail, variety of characters, costumes, voices and sound effects. Children gained great delight in being introduced to the puppeteer and backstage. Perfect lead up to our unit on puppetry. The children produced some terrific follow up reports and are now busy making their own puppets.” Michelle Ogilvie, Osbourne Primary School, Mt Martha, Melbourne.

"This enchanting performance of Sleeping Beauty brought magic into out hearts. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for brining the child inside alive." Sarah, Mt Waverley Primary Vacation Care School Holiday Program.

Comments from the Children…

“Today a puppet show came to our school. I didn’t think I was going to like it but I loved it. It was the best puppet show I ever saw. My favourite puppet was the Joker. It looked and sounded really good with all the sound effects.” Katrina.

“I could never go without puppet theatre. I want to do what you do when I grow up. I really liked the Frog, Jester and the Evil Fairy. Your puppet making really made us excited. The puppets were made alive because you acted very well. I thought it would be boring because it was a little kids show but because it gave me a laugh, I really liked it." Rebecca.

“Thank you for coming to our school and putting on a puppet show for us. I was really good to have you come here because we don’t get many things like this to happen at our school because it we live in a valley far way from anything. Thank you for teaching us how you make the puppets and how you control them. It was very surprising to see you do all the character voices. The sound effects really bought out the atmosphere. We hope you can come back and cheer up our school again like you did today.” Luke.
