Subject: [Puptcrit] DRY WALLER STILTS


The great thing about dry wall stilts is that they are height  
adjustable and the user can stand still. With user made/homade/most  
stilts the wearer must constantly move to maintain balance.
The company I cofounded had 2 pair of dry wall stilts. After I left,  
they were stolen.

We had a show based on the original "Ramona & Jules" story that became  
Billy Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet". All the characters were very  
clown like, lots of highly choreographed stage fighting. All the  
"weapons" were variations of toilet plungers (as swords, spears,  
daggers, quarterstaff, etc). One of the two adversarial families wore  
stilts we made that made all the actors about the same height. It was  
an outdoor, free to the public touring show for all age audiences.
