The Swans were conceived by Underwraps Director, Ruth Trantor and brought to life by master puppet-maker Sally Preisig (creator of The Tweenies). The aim of the project was to combine the beauty of dance with the potential humour of puppet animation, and in doing so create a unique and memorable act for all audiences. The Swans are an eye-catching walkabout act, ideal either as a beautiful "meet & greet" spectacle or as highly comedic, interactive entertainment for a family audience.
