Matt Lloyd (Co-Artistic Director)

Like all of the apples, Matt also trained at Rose Bruford and co-founded Smoking Apples in 2010. Matt comes from a background in comedy, performing arts and dance (yep that’s right dancing) at Homewood school. He enjoys working with puppets and particularly the relationship between the puppet and audience, engaging the audience’s focus into wholeheartedly believing in essentially… an inanimate object, (regardless of whether the puppet is 4 inches tall or 16 foot). Alongside Smoking Apples, Matt works as a freelance Puppet Maker, set builder and general DIY making.
