Emily Morus-Jones

Emily Morus-Jones is a Welsh puppeteer, puppet maker, writer, and director who served as a puppeteer intern on The Furchester Hotel. She must have been excited to intern for an international co-production of Sesame Street and to work alongside Muppet performers. Emily has even got a quote on her website from Jim Henson, "Even the most sophisticated people I know - inside they are all children." Morus-Jones has designed, built, and performed puppets for many companies and the people who run them such as directors, artists, creative agencies, and more. Outside, she has worked with many productions and clients like Thinkbox, Kneehigh Theatre, Netflix, and Cadbury's, to name a few. Other puppeteers she performed with over the years include Mikey Brett, Julia Frost, Andy Heath, and Louise Gold. It is amazing how one woman like Emily Morus-Jones can do so much work involving puppets whether it's on live TV or streaming services. She's also the second puppeteer on this blog to be Welsh, the first one being William Todd-Jones. In her recent years, she wrote and directed her first ever short film called Diomysus which won her several awards and appeared on television. I'll bet Emily was really proud to have accomplished such a difficult task. Maybe soon Morus-Jones will make more short films and who knows maybe a TV movie, you never know what's up her sleeve. Perhaps in the future, she'll assist the Henson Company on UK projects as either a puppeteer or puppet designer/builder. Emily Morus-Jones, you declared that you're the only woman puppeteer to accomplish all of the work you've done, that may not be true in reality, but it's whatever you think is accurate. I hope you'll keep performing in puppet business until you decide to retire. Until then, keep brainstorming some future productions and before you know it, you'll go down in history. You're one hardworking woman Emily. Cheerio Morus-Jones!
