Twice the artifice, great and small

   Posted by: Kathe   in Performance, Puppet art, Research

This was just presented at St. Ann’s Warehouse in NYC – does it not look fantastic? Toy theater takes the imagination and artifice exponential: not only is it a made-up story in a made-up place, it’s a made-up world entirely. Even better: a series of made-up worlds, some matchbox-small, some composed of shadows, or cut out of paper; wee peep shows, animation, toy piano accompaniment, workshops, oh yeah. And names like John Bell, Susan Simpson, Eileen Blumenthal, Peter Schumann, Torry Bend, Jim Napolitano. . . .Teeny little hats off! Wish i was there.
