Front page of the Chapel Hill News on Sunday, October 19, 2008. Here is the original.
Hillsborough, NC ran its first annual Handmade Puppet Parade on October 11, 2008. Folks made giant puppets representing creatures from the local Eno River. I shot the parade for the Chapel Hill News.
“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.

Wow, I have more plush raccoons than I thought...
This is a Dakin hand puppet that my stepdad had lying around his house when my mom moved in with him...I sort of adopted him shortly afterward.

Assemble your materials. You will need one styrofoam head per puppet, some liquid starch or your papier måché paste of choice, some card stock or railroad board stiff enough that you can press it into the styrofoam without bending, and construction paper in an assortment of colors. You will also need paint brushes for applying starch/paste and later will want fabric scraps for puppet bodies. Optional items include mat board and any material that can be stuck into the cardboard and pasted over (halves of plastic easter eggs for noses or foil antennae, for example). If you choose to also make your puppet a rod puppet, you'll also want chopsticks or dowels to work the arms.
Made from old sheets i've had lying around for ages - perfect for this project! Blogged about here: acraftyvegan.blogspot.com

On Surrealist Saturday, a spectacular puppet parade, Merma Never Dies, designed by the Surrealist painter Joan Miró, was reinvented for the Tate.
My aunt Mary found this puppet theatre at an estate sale, I think, and she was eager for the kids to try it out. She got her wish when Ava and Theo put on a show that Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the theatre wasn't very stable and toppled forward almost immediately after they started, breaking off the counter below the ticket window in the process. (I assume there used to be a shelf under the "stage" as well...) Bennett stepped in to make sure it would stay up so that the show could go on.
I might be an illusion,
My reflection is deceiving me.
You are also a dream,
Or maybe a wish or fantasy.
& a Puppet World for me!!!

The famous Puppet Man of Norwich.
He waves his hands (with puppets attached) around to music. What a talent!
Halloween conjures up visions of witches, goblins, vampires, bats and ghoul. Many places on the Second Life grid are featuring pumpkin patches, scarey haunted houses and ghoulish images.
But the real horror is our own nightmares. We found a place called The Funhouse. Insane & totally demented! Digging deep into our psyche, this builder has created a horror so compete that it may drive you mad. (We went three times... plan to spend at least 2 hours).
A bit of a respite after this torture, I hit Club Industry. Goth, industrial, noize, psypop, trance and more are featured at this club 24/7. DJ DaemonChadeau spins there, too. So appropriate for the Halloween spirits!
Also, BassLine Junkiez is having a big Halloween party on Oct 31st. Liqwid, Doubledown, Vacano, Rentmaster and others are the featured DJ's. I'm sure Xavier & I will hit that one.
