Experiments in Puppetry: Video Highlights

As previously posted, I recently had the opportunity to put together my own evening of original puppet works. Entitled "Experiments in Puppetry", the show used a variety of types of puppetry and a mix of song and spoken word. The "experiments" ranged from humorous to heart warming and I am very pleased to share some video highlights from the performance.

One of the pieces I am most proud of is my interpretation of some pieces from Daniel MacIvor'sHumans. This table top piece was inspired by work I saw at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's 2010 Puppetry Conference which I attended this past summer.

The performance featured a very special guest. One of my personal hero's and a veteren children's performer.

My homage to the early work of Jim Henson, another hero of mine.

I also took an existing musical theater tune that I love to perform and "puppetized" it.

The finale of the show, and one of my favorite "experiment" was this performance of In the Mood. Joining us on stage was tapper Leeds Hill.
