At the latter end of 2023 to early 2024, Samuel received development funding from North East Lincolnshire Council’s Create North East Lincolnshire. The funding was used to help establish Samuel as a puppeteer and build a bank of resources for the early start of his career. This included memberships to the British Puppet Guild and Puppeteers UK. Samuel then trained with: Kathleen Yore (Odd Doll Theatre - director, puppet builder and performer), Natasha Holmes (Tell Tale Hearts - writer, director, performer) and three zoom sessions with Sophie Powell (puppeteer, performer, maker and theatre practitioner) using a set of Puppet Box puppets purchased with funds. 

Throughout 2024, Samuel continues to work with Kazbah Theatre.

Samuel hopes to keep developing as a puppeteer alongside his acting work. He looks forward to connecting with fellow puppeteers at BPG events.
