Here is a little profile I wrote a few years back mostly assembled from information in Puppetry Journal Daniel Llords Known as Llords "International" concert theatre for adults, this polished; solo marionette performer completed at least 4 world tours. He built and costumed over 900 marionettes. As a child, Daniel performed as a concert pianist. As a young teenager he sang and acted in 23 films. He had a permanent puppet theatre from 1959-1962 on Cannery Row in Monterey, California. In 1962 he began his first world tour. In 1968 he created his first longer work to Stravinsky's Firebird. Using music by Mozart, Offenbach, and others this splendid showman captured audiences with puppets, musicianship, and his glamorous stage persona. Daniel Llords served as President of Puppeteers of America from 1967-1969. From 1969-1981, his column, "International Notebook," was a regular feature in Puppetry Journal. After many years on the road and in Hollywood, Daniel Llords moved to Ohio in 1982. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Dudley" <john.dudley-AT-telepuppets.com> To: <puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 5:52 AM Subject: [Puptcrit] Daniel Llords > Reading about Sid Krofft made me think about Daniel Llords (Llords > International) who used to play concert halls with his puppets > accompanied by a full orchestra. > I saw him twice in the UK, once at a puppet festival in North Wales > where I got to know him and once at a theatre in London. > What happened to him?
