What Happened to You?
By Nikki Charlesworth, presented in Leicester Libraries as part of The Spark Festival 2023
Red, Noodles and Bo, three raggedy puppets, are trying to enjoy their day… but there are so many busy bodies getting in their way! But today will be different, they are going to play by their own rules and show the grown-ups who’s boss.
Artist Nikki Charlesworth throws away the rulebook with these award-winning puppets that reflect her own physicality and move as she moves.
This Libraries version of What Happened to You? was supported by Inspire Culture, Learning, Libraries and The Spark Arts for Children

The Vital Spark behind everything we do
We believe that all children should be able to experience arts and culture, and that they should be able to see themselves represented in these experiences. This is not yet the case for every child and we’re committed to changing that.
Our response is Vital Spark, and it's at the heart of everything we do. Vital Spark is about challenging and changing the lack of diversity in children’s arts and culture; it’s about diverse-led artistic decision making; it’s about not being afraid to stand up for what’s right.
We do this by supporting artists who are currently underrepresented in children’s arts and culture. We also work with partner organisations to create world-class opportunities for these artists and share best practice.
