Abstract
This article explores the role of Puppetry as an engaging tool in Applied Theatre practice with children in Healthcare. Inspired by the Socratic Dialogue, the authors have chosen to explore their experiential understanding and how this forms their views of performing in clinical settings in the form of a dialogue between the pedagogue and the student. Together they refer to experience gained during the Community and Applied Drama Laboratory (CADLab) projects in hospital. They explore possible methods of training community actors and puppeteers who may be interested in working with children in-patients. Questions were cultivated throughout the dialogue as evidence of a spontaneous and democratic communication between the pedagogue and the student about a shared passion.
