SG Stories - S1E15: Tan Beng Tian, Chinese puppet-maker and puppeteer

It’s been almost 30 years since her former boss refused to grant her leave to attend to her theatre projects and snapped at her “if you love theatre so much, why don’t you do theatre full-time?” Which she promptly did. Tan Beng Tian is a Chinese puppet-maker and puppeteer and founded puppet theatre company The Finger Players back in 1993. She also spent one and a half years training under a master puppeteer in Quanzhou, China. In recent years, she has striven to make her shows more accessible to the deaf & hard-of-hearing community.
