Dynamic New Animation (DNA) is devoted to the promotion of puppetry as an art form to people of all ages, races, ethnic origins and abilities through performance, educational workshops and development work. They present visually stimulating, accessible entertaining performance that encourages audiences of all ages to live happier, healthier and more productive lives with a strong sense of wellbeing and empowerment, encouraging active participation in all aspects of society. The performance art-form of puppetry is central to all of the company's work. The creative team of Adam Bennett and Rachel Riggs are highly experienced both in creating performances and performing in shows created by other puppetry or visual theatre companies.
Before company formation, both Adam and Rachel had successful freelance careers, and Dynamic New Animation builds upon the successes of their previous touring theatre productions, workshops and collaborations. Alongside the creation of performances, DNA also creates showcases, festivals, educational workshops and residencies, artwork and installations. DNA is developing an approach to puppetry that draws upon a multitude of traditional and modern techniques in design, construction and performance.
DNA devices and develops its performance through the physical capabilities of the puppets, objects and the set design onstage to create an action-based stage dynamic. While the spoken word and the influence of literature and music are considered important, they are used primarily to support action-based puppetry.
