StoneLion Puppet Theatre presented The Spirit of the Wood on Mother's Day on the lawn at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The theatrical spectacle marked the culmination of months of public workshops.
“I was watching a soap opera and all of a sudden an earthquake took place,” says Natcharin, a 13-year old girl who lives in Chiang Saen, northern Thailand. “My mum and I hid under the table and bed. If there is a disaster, people in our community will be in trouble."
Natcharin recently attended a 2-day workshop with 29 other children from 4 villages to create characters and stories to use for a shadow puppet show all about disasters.
“In our story, we want to talk about how it isn’t good to ignore flood warnings. I’ll use my knowledge to perform for adults and children so that they know how dangerous disasters can be”.
Shadow puppetry is an effective way for vulnerable children and communities to learn about disaster risk reduction using easy, fun and engaging media. In partnership with Plan Thailand, the organisation Wondering Moon uses shadow theatre to tell stories of disasters.
Molly wanted to go to the playground. Unfortunately, it had rained all day and the playground was soaked. So, I suggested we put on a puppet show instead. Here are Molly (giraffe and frog) and Leah (goose and monkey) giving us a show.
Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 7th month of the lunar New Year and is celebrated mainly in China and other countries such as Singapore & Malaysia. It is believe that during this month, the gates of hell are opened to free the hungry ghosts who then wander to seek food on Earth. Chinese celebrate this festival chiefly to remember their deceased family members and pay tribute to them. They also feel that offering food to the deceased appeases them and wards off bad luck.
Chinese also believe that the dead return to visit their living relatives during the 7th month and so they prepare a sumptuous meal for the ‘hungry ghosts’, just as they would for normal Chinese gatherings at festivals. They also offer prayers to the deceased relatives and burn joss sticks.
In Malaysia and Singapore, there are also concerts (getai or wayang) performed on outdoor stages in some neighborhoods at night. These concerts used to be traditional Chinese (different dialects) operas and (Teochews and Hokkien) puppet shows; however nowadays such traditional performances are very rare- they are replaced by pop music. There is a belief that this entertainment would please those wandering ghosts.
This photo is a rare Hokkien puppet show.
I copied the picture on the pattern. The tunic is made from cheap cotton from WalMart. When I sew a pattern for the first time, I try it out with cheap fabric. The shorts are linen.
Beautiful mini little lions. They're actually puppets. I love the colors! The lions are wishing you "much wealth"
From a "toy puppet" exhibit at the Conservatory for Puppetry Arts in Pasadena CA. Most of the puppets are from Alan Cook's collection.
Went to see a puppet show at the library today - got another shot of my all*stars. So this is what I would look like in brown shoes - with deathly grey legs.
Just to clarify - this pic has the colors switched - these shoes are actually blue and my legs are actually alive. :)

The Willits Kinetic Carnivale is two days of steampunk fun in the sun (and under the moon). This festival has it all! A large shaded park full of vendors, stages, food, and demonstrations of unusual steam powered inventions. A huge Whimsy Circus play area for kids that makes the adults jealous. Handcar races! Free steam train rides! The Roots of Motive Power Annual Steam-up is a trip into history as they fire up giant steam shovels, tractors, logging machines, and a Buffalo Springfield steam roller. All this for only $5 (kids are free)! The food was good (and also cheap). But wait, there’s more! Willits Airport Day and Kinetic Fly-in: vintage to modern aircraft on display along with plane or helicopter rides. And then for the adult fun: the Grand Ball. Music, drinks, fire troupe, circus, and more. Check it out: www.kineticcarnivale.com/

Well, I Can’t Explain What Love Is. But Looking At Those Puppets, I Bet That’s Actually A True PUPPET LUV. When They Unite, Even Their Shadows Speak LOVE!!
On the way back from Ha Long Bay, our tour included a stop at a small village for a Water Puppet show. We had heard horror stories about it being a giant tourist trap, but we were pleasantly surprised - it was cute, and there was no pressure to buy anything. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_Water_puppets
