In Episode 8 ‘Bringing Things to Life’ we meet Dr Matt Wood (Lecturer in Social Psychology at UWE Bristol) who alongside his lecturing career is also a puppeteer. We delve into the wonder and magic of the art of bringing inanimate objects to life and the intense focus and skill of this rare art form. Matt also helps us understand the tensions around having a side career that crosses into leisure and how ensuing personal and professional identities can be negotiated to everyone’s benefit.
