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.

Three beautiful wood carvings of women caught my eye in a storefront on Throckmorton Ave. They could be used as puppets, with moveable arms and heads, and are really artfully done. They are nice inspirations for the poetic robots I would like to build next. I hope we can do something similar with our next characters, once we’ve mastered the art of moving wonder ducks like Indigo, as shown in this video of his first 'baby steps': www.facebook.com/fabrice.florin/videos/10156226465115506/
In the next few days, I would like to build a few more Wonderbots and see how they behave when when they are brought together in the same space. Then we'll add a storyline, a backdrop, more lights and sounds, with impromptu dialog and music. I can’t wait to see them interact with each other. Stay tuned …
