The Toronto School of Puppetry is most pleased to host Dahlia Katz leading the third session of the Fresh Ideas in Puppetry Series This Saturday, April 1 2006, at Puppetmongers Studio: 1110 Dundas Street East (at Logan Ave). The Fresh Ideas In Puppetry Series explores new creative directions, methods and initiatives in the world of puppetry. Dahlia Katz specialises in open-stage body-puppet performance. This session will deal with treating puppets as actors, and specifically when puppets and actors meet. Dahlia will demonstrate and explain her approach to puppetry in popular theatre, focusing on the relationship between the puppet and the performer's body. Participants will be involved in warm up activities, workshopping with some of Dahlia's puppets, and an open discussion about the state of puppetry in North American theatre today. Dahlia Katz is a young theatre artist in Toronto with a varied background in several theatrical disciplines, and a real passion for puppetry. A graduate of York University with a BA in Humanities, Dahlia has taught puppetry in York University's Theatre department and acting at various public schools and private programs in the Toronto area. She has performed as a puppeteer in the Toronto Fringe Festival, on Centre Island as well as mounting an environmental piece in the ROM's Bio-diversity Gallery. This summer marks her public directing debut in the London Fringe Festival's "The Cuckoo". Most recently she directed a number of projects at York University and is currently collaborating with the newly- reformed Draft89 on a body of multidisciplinary performances set to open early this summer, and on a pitch for a new children's TV show using puppets. Admission is $10 per session. Reservations are recommended as space is limited, call 416-469-3555. This Saturday, April 1 2006, at Puppetmongers Studio: 1110 Dundas Street East (at Logan Ave).
