Around 70 people, including 30 performers, were involved in the four-year-long process of creating the stage adaptation of Spirited Away, showcasing the significant collaboration required for such intricate projects.
Director John Caird's original pitch to Hayao Miyazaki for incorporating puppets in Spirited Away laid the foundation for an extensive exploration on how puppetry could bring characters to life in the adaptation.
Puppetry designer Toby Olie and the creative team engaged in a thorough two-week workshop to experiment with foam and cardboard prototypes, underlining the meticulous planning and creativity involved in designing the puppets.
