Shorts created in a size 4 using the Puppet Show Shorts pattern by Oliver + S.

 

Fabrics used: something black from the remnant bin at my local fabric store and a colorful yardstick print I won and have been hoarding!

 

Modeled by my lovely three year old daughter

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.

The Sock Puppet Fairy (TM)

 

I gave Dad some socks on his birthday as a joke (having first hidden the DVDs).

 

It backfired in that he was genuinely delighted - removing a shoe and waggling toes through holes at me in proof of his dire sockless existence.

 

So Christmas demanded upping the ante - a whole tree festooned with pairs of socks.

 

There were going to be sock tinsel/baubles etc in different colours, but limited precious PikeyAir luggage allowance killed that. I went through security with them stuffed under my armpits in a desperate attempt to beat the 10kilo bag limit. Which was interesting. TIP: wear cargo combats - you can pile tons of crap in the pockets which doesn't count :D

Wayang golek are wooden doll puppets that are operated from below by rods connected to the hands and a central control rod that runs through the body to the head. The simple construction of the puppets belies their versatility, expressiveness and aptitude for imitating human dance.

 

The Most Famous Wayang Golek's Dalang in Indonesia are Mr. Asep Sunandar Sunarya (showed in picture).

This is one of the puppets. The lower faces were sculpted in a computer and "printed" using rapid prototyping technology. The seam you can see around the eyes was painstakingly removed in post-processing.

Beautiful mini little lions. They're actually puppets. I love the colors!

Jon and I are working on a puppet version of me! He made the foam body inside and I sewed the outer body.

 

I gave her black yarn hair with light blue "highlights" (they're supposed to be grey hairs)

 

I'm still trying to decide if I like the darker eyelids. I think I like them. I don't wear makeup, but I do have darkness around my eyes.

From the Oliver S pattern for Puppetshow Tunic and shorts. This was very detailed, and took a fair amount of time. But it turned out really cute! I chose to use just one fabric rather than a second complimentary fabric.

Puppet in the Museum of Amsterdam.

Taken for an intranet picture at my place of employment in 2000 or 2001. We did one serious photo and then one wacky photo that popped up when you moused over the serious one.

Rajasthani Puppets are string marionettes that originate from the state of Rajasthan in India. The puppets are controlled by a single string that passes from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers. Characteristic to this form are the shrill voices produced by the lead puppeteer which are spoken through a bamboo reed. The art of Rajasthani puppetry (also called Kathputli) originated a thousand years ago when the Bhat community began to practice this art. Patronised by many ruling families in the state, it soon grew into a major art form of the region. Due to the invasion of Rajasthan by the Mughals, Kathputli gradually lost its importance. It has been one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Historically, these puppets were not only a source of entertainment, but also provided moral and social education. The shows tackled problems like the dowry system, women's empowerment, illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, andcleanliness. These puppet shows made people aware of the social problems that everybody was facing and also showed ways of solving them.
