Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.

A lone picture of the puppet mistress and her puppet-making materiels.
I wanted to make something but didn't have time to take any new pictures so I just 'recycled' the puppet mistress ones.

This will definitely be the last pair of these for Lucy - unlike dresses and tops which are easy to lengthen, these are a bit on the tight side!
My husband made each member of the wedding party a puppet to match them. They entered the reception carrying them.

Traditional Thai Puppet Theater,Nattayasala Hun Lakorn Lek(Joe Louis), Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Bangkok, --Thailand--
Introducing Thai Theatrical Puppetry
The thratrical puppetry is unique smong the various forms of puppetry in that each puppet
represents a character taken from the traditional Thai theater. There are three types of
traditional Thai theatrical performances, all of which are stylized, with dancing, singing and music
comparable in complexity with the European opera-ballet of the 18th century French royal
court at Versailles. The most sophisticated od these is khon, which performs only the ramakian
(the Thai versoin of the Indian epic, Ramayana); the less ssophisticated is lakhon, performs all
other classics of Thai drama; and the least sophisticated is likey, which performs common
drames, Thai theatrical puppetry is also unique in that each puppet requires the synchronised
efforts of three puppeteers is its manipulation, all of whom appear on stage with the puppet
and each of whom is khon, lakhon or likay performer in his or her own right. The puppets, in
short, perform khon, lakhon or likay on stage with the puppeteers, where the name 'theatrical
puppetry'.
The Traditional Thai Puppet Theater Company is the authoritative guardian of this dying art
form: the directors and senior members of the troupe are direct artistic seccessors of the
founder of Thai theatrical puppetry. Performances are as unique as they are authentic
Performance at the Traditional Thai Puppet Theater are s showcase for Thailand 's cultural
heritage and reflect the undtinting efforts of the troupe to preserve and perpetuate this exotic art form.
