The team behind Supermarionation hit Nebula-75 are giving a one-day course on May 27 at the University of Hull as part of their Arts in Isolation programme, showing how it is possible to be creative and productive during the lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nebula 75: A Day of Puppets will be showcasing Supermarionation and ‘Superisolation’ filming techniques to help encourage and inspire young people to start creating art in isolation from within their own homes.

The free full-day event will host the production team behind Thunderbirds: The Anniversary Episodes for a live screening and Q&A of their new Supermarionation web series, Nebula 75. The show was created by Stephen La Rivière and Andrew T. Smith with their team between March-June 2020, which was filmed entirely under UK lockdown conditions with remaining puppets, props and materials used in previous productions as well as surrounding bookshelves, cardboard boxes and other household objects for set design. Not constrained by its living-room studio origins the series has gone on to earn a dedicated fanbase and has been profiled on BBC Radio 4, Channel 4, and in the Radio Times. In addition to a live screening and Q&A session, the Nebula 75 team will also undertake a live onstage filming demonstration of Supermarionation puppetry techniques as well as presenting and showcasing how anyone can create art in isolation no matter the level of filmmaking, skill and ability.

Nebula 75: A Day of Puppets will be streamed live to audiences and local Hull schools and colleges from Middleton Hall at the University of Hull. The possibility of a socially distanced audience will depend on government restrictions and guidance nearer to the time of the event. Additional details and information about physical attendance, event schedules and the livestream will be updated here on their webpage and advertised on theirsocial media platforms.
