Subject: [Puptcrit] GRENDEL article in LIVEDESIGN


The August issue of LIVEDESIGN has a tech article, A MONSTROUS AFFAIR in the August 2006 issue, about the new opera, "GRENDEL" directed by Julie Taymor.

Two of eight photos show puppet elements, and 2 more photos show the giant Serpent Head which is puppet-like.

Text is accessible at www.livedesignonline.com  without photos.

Another article, HOW NOW BROWN COW has a photo of an animatronic group of cows at Hershey Chocolate in Pennsylvnia, USA

Howdy Folks, I?m new to this list this month and have really been enjoying it - A lot of great information.
I will be traveling to Venice and the surrounding area in September and wonder if anyone knows of anything puppet related that I can check out.
I heard that there are some mask makers there.  Or perhaps you know of an Italian Puppet company I could write to inquire more?
My focus as a puppeteer is on marionettes but I love most things in the world of puppets.
Thanks!

Hey there-

I tried to make an announcement about my show, I think that I haven't seen it because it didn't get posted- not because I'm insane trying to be presentable by August 19th heehee!

Anyway, I thought I would never do a show for free- but I think this one really needs to get the wheels greased and get some audience feedback- and if the feedback is from those aware of generic puppet issues+, so much the better & of course I would love to meet you live :)

The show is "Secret Life of Rodents"
FREE
but canned food is requested to donate to Philabundance

what: "Secret Life of Rodents" 1 person hand puppet show, based on the fable Stone Soup

At: Bucks County Community College, 275 Swamp Road, Newtown PA, 18940
    in the Orangery

When: 1:00p  3:00p  and 7:00p,  Saturday August 19th

who: Signal Light Theatre, Rachel Anthonisen
       I am posted at UNIMA-USA

(at first I said the show was 40 min, then I changed it to 20 now I'm thinking it's closer to the original length, but we will see, we will see....)

Hope you can make it,
Thanks

They presented it at last year's Puppets Up! festival in Almonte, Ontario. 
They're performing here (I just got into Almonte tonight) this weekend, but with 
a different show. You can check out the details (and a short article by yours 
truly!) at:

www.puppetsup.ca

They are definitely an exciting company, experimenting with different forms.


Best,

Great links, Mathieu!  I knew Agostino Dessi in Florence 
(Alicemasks.com) nearly 20 years ago; very lovely work, and he was 
open, at the time, to perhaps making puppets as well.

Here is the link to the L.A. Times article about the Conservatory of 
Puppetry Arts in Pasadena, CA. (Nancy Smith had posted one 
previously, but it didn't work for me.)

http://www.calendarlive.com/galleriesandmuseums/cl-et-puppets17jul17,0,6333216.story?coll=cl-home-top-blurb-right

The volunteers at COPA are working hard, and they recently finished 
cataloguing item number 2,900. Beth Fernandez, the Director, told me 
that at this point they think they have catalogued about half of the 
puppets in the collection.  (The vast collection of books is already 
catalogued and is not included in the 2,900 count.)

When this collection finds a permanent home, it will be a 
magnificent, amazing tribute to the art of puppetry.  It's only a 
matter of time...  and money.  So, PLEASE consider joining COPA as a 
supporting member.  Go to the COPA web site and sign up!
