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.
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.

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.

Puppet shows remain popular here in Sicily, and it is not uncommon for a show to recreate conflict between Christian knights and saracen pirates a millennium ago during the Crusades.
The Hereios of the We're Here group were talking like pirates on 19 September.
If there be a hell upon earth it is to be found in a melancholy man's heart.

The very famous Rajasthani puppets...seems as if dese are taking a kind of "rest" before they are back in the strings ;)
(Part.3)
El mundo está en mí. ¿No me apartaré?.
Acojo todos los colores y el estío dentro de mi otoño.Porque sé que no hay fin, que no habrá término.
Yo soy el infinito proyecto de mí misma y por encima de mí, me sobrevuelo.
"Entonces,por un momento, ahora, sin voluntad...y casi está bien.Hasta pensar en estar bien y convertirlo en nube. En trayectoria".

A halloween special at Urban Threads. The little monsters make perfect finger puppets!

This was taken at an antiques fair at La Bisbal d'Emporda. When on holiday in Spain, we normally spend Saturdays and Sundays foraging amongst the tat and junk of the local car boot sales.
This market was a cut above those with many quality items - most of which were way beyond our price range.
I just liked the fact that this very old Oriental puppet was propped up against a tree waiting for somebody to fall in love with him. I'm not sure anybody did.
From a production of "Moth and Moon"- if I recall correctly- by Sandglass Theater of Putney Vermont. Seen on display in a window at the box office for the Puppets In The Green Mountain festival this past weekend. Sandglass is one of my favorite companies in the compelling world of puppetry.
The puppets in Rajasthan are one of the popular sources of entertainment in the state. It involve activities like drawings, paintings, wood carving, carpentry, plaster cast making, clay modeling, costume designing, story, script writing, dramatization, song and music composition. Wow, that's quite a lot of work...:))

Change the species and this was the type of puppetry done in the show last week. We wore all black, including black screens over our faces. The puppet bodies were strapped to our torsos, and we manipulated the arms and head. Generally my puppet's left arm was fastened in place so I could concentrate on moving the head and right hand.
There were a few other puppets (including the crane from Monday and one other human puppet that required three handlers), but this was the main type.
