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 Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting 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, street lamps, umbrellas trees and graveyards, to name but a few.
We will then attach our puppets on thin vertical sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads projecting them onto the screen.
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 about ourselves.

I made these for the totally awesome Happycloud Thunderhead in exchange for three of his adorable finger puppets! I'm excited to get mine. :D
These are my first finger puppets ever, and if you like them, maybe ill make more someday!
The puppet theater that I made for my granddaughter from the Oliver + S little things to sew book. This was a fun project for the MLK weekend. My goal was not to buy any fabric. I pieced together fabric for the house and used scraps for everything else. This is a 100+ old house so my doorways are narrow. I did buy the cotton canvas tarp for the back and it was surprisingly easy to cut, sew and iron.

Ready for the show...waiting to go !
All parts are movable and they dance while the puppeteer sings his own creations and taps on a board ;-)
The puppeteer hand-carves them himself.

Another photo from the Oamaru Victorian Festival (I really need to get out and take some new ones!), this puppet was so cool, his mistress was making him dance to some of the live music, run in circles and occasionally she'd put him on her foot, spin around and then fling him into the air.
Well, 2009 is drawing to a close. I think it's been a pretty good year for me apart from a couple of things that went badly. I hope that 2009 went really well for all of you and that 2010 is a fantastic year full of good things coming your way =)
Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...
She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
(Angel - Eurythmics)
These are two of the dancers from a show called 'Puppet' by "Dae-Gu City Modern Dance Company", who are from South Korea, performing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
I met this company on the Royal Mile where they were performing an excerpt from their show. When I showed them some of my shots, the Director was kind enough to invite me along to photograph their show.
It was the first time I had really tried photographing a dance show...and I've never worked so hard photographically...constantly having to recompose and change exposure in response to the lighting and the movements of the dancers.
When the show ended, I was actually interviewed by a South Korean journalist. Life is more interesting in Edinburgh during the Fringe. :-)
A puppet on strings. This is really our life, controlled by strings and in the background a shadow trying to break out. This is how I am feeling from the jet lag.
Just back from our trip and will be posting more pictures as soon as we get over our jet lag. Glad to be back.
One of the puppeteers operating The Big Man - the largest puppet in Scotland. Taken with my phone and a telephoto lens. Fun, but always a little soft in places.

Capitulo 1
∞Acordando∞
Flashes... Aplausos... Flores... Todos gritavam com vigor e euforia... Mas há algo de errado. Acordei em uma sala muito estranha, escura com teias de aranha e pó por todos os lados. Não consigo me mexer? O que está acontecendo? I-Isso são linhas? Meu corpo... Transformaram-me em algo que não pude identificar, tudo está diferente. Tentei levantar e andar, mas quando dei o primeiro passo escutei um ruído vindo de um dos cantos escuros da sala.
—Olá? Q-Quem está ai?— Só houve o silêncio como resposta. —Apareça! Estou mandando!
—Shii... Não fale alto... Ele pode estar nos ouvindo.
Quando retornei meu olhar para o canto vi uma boneca fazendo um sinal de silêncio. —O-Onde estou?
Perguntei em desespero.
—Por que estou aqui? Onde encontro a saída?
Ela me olhou se levantando e se aproximou respondendo.
—Não à saída. Nós não podemos sair irmã.
—I-Irmã? Não diga besteiras sou filha única. Não tenho irmã!
—Claro que somos irmãs, nós somos iguais não vê?
Ela me levou até um espelho que havia dentro da sala, quando avistei meu reflexo fiquei sem reação em estado de choque. Essa sou eu? Transformaram-me em uma marionete. UMA MARIONETE! Com o susto saltei para trás e cai no chão trincando uma das minhas pernas.
—Cuidado! Você deve tomar mais cuidado, não podemos cair de forma brusca no chão, pois somos de porcelana e quebramos com facilidade.
—E-Eu não sinto nada. Não sinto dor.
— Mas não sentimos dor irmã...
—NÃO ME CHAME ASSIM!
—Desculpe... Então como se chama?
—Eu me chamo...
—Não se lembra?
—Claro que lembro não seja idiota!
Meu nome? Qual é o meu nome? Eu não me lembro de quase nada. Após uns instantes tentando recordar o meu nome percebi que aquela boneca estava atrás de mim levantando o cabelo das minhas costas.
—Madison! Seu nome é Madison irmã... Perdão.
—Madison? Isso meu nome é Madison hahaha, como poderia esquecer.
—Eu me chamo Fiona, Muito prazer.
—Certamente. Mas onde é a saída?
—Não podemos sair nosso mestre não permite.
Após ela dizer isso a sala começou a tremer e uma mão gigantesca me pegou e me tirou dali para uma mesa gigantesca com agulhas, linhas e tecidos.

Pinocchio Puppet hangs around with several other small wooden toys I have on my bookshelves. It is a souvenir I bought back from Italy years ago.

What's a puppet to do when he's not allowed down a path because he has no feet? Photo taken at Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah.
As part of our Wonderbot project, I am building a small puppet theater in my studio, to experiment with poetic robots and interactive storytelling. Before building out a permanent framework, I am testing a few ideas, to best combine physical objects with digital images and sounds. In this test, the projector is pointing down from the ceiling so that characters can stand in front of the projected image without blocking it. With the projector about five feet away from the back wall, it can beam a backdrop that’s about 4 feet wide by 3 feet high.
We are creating a short story around Violet and Indigo, two ‘wonder ducks’ created by Natalina, which we’ve turned into 'poetic robots’. We’re now starting to write a loose script to guide their interactions, with dialog, music, sound effects, props and backdrops. We hope this fairy tale will inspire which features to give these duckbots (e.g.: respond to each other’s calls, approach or avoid one another). Our goal is to capture the best scenes on video and edit it all together into a compelling story at the end of this project. I can’t wait to see how far we can go with this.
