A rare photograph of James breaking his arm during rehearsal for the Master of Puppets tour. Definite proof that he did not break his arm in a skateboarding accident as it is widely believed, but rather onstage.
These are live performers captured at the last performance of "Garden of the Wild" by the amazing Paperhand Puppet Intervention group at the Forest Theater, UNC, Chapel Hill, NC. Wonderful music, costumes, and great puppet art!

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.

Silkscreened posters for puppet shows in Philadelphia, Providence and Chicago, 2000 to 2005. Posters pictured here include the work of the Insurrection Landscapers (top left), Frank Maugery (right of top left), Jo Dery (top two right), Lief Goldberg (mid-right), Morgão (mid-left and center), and Bob Kamzelski (bottom row).
These posters were part of the show OUR EYES NEED ART on Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia. They serve as a document of an underground puppetry arts movement that has been largely undocumented. Philadelphia has become a nexus for this movement largely because of Puppet Uprising, an organization that hosts performance events for local and touring puppeteers in Philadelphia. The bottom row of silkscreen posters are from some of Puppet Uprising's early cabarets at the CEC, Calvary Church, and the Rotunda in West Philly.

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).
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.
