Commissioned for the Powerhouse Museum, Zoe and Cogs are the museum’s mascots for children who featured in their own educational theatre performances as well as serving in meet and greets and roaming around the museum. The brief was to work with writer/ producer/ performer Nigel Sutton to devise and create extension puppets mounted on the performer’s body for ‘The Zoie and Cogs Show’.

Cogs’ eye lighting, sound effects and lightning bolt were controlled by the performer on a control panel near the hand controls. He is on permanent display at the Powerhouse.
