Subject: [Puptcrit] New Yorker puppet article


New YorkerMarch 23, 2009
p 80-81
Dancing-Lifelike-Puppets in New York by New Yorker dance critic Joan
Acocella

This 2 page article is a lovely surprise
it starts with a review of Awaji Puppet Theatre
First line:
"Japanese puppet theatre takes its great power from the fact that it is very
realistic and very artificial at the same time."

Article makes quick mention of Avenue Q, and Lion King, Taymor's Magic Flute
at the Metropolitan Opera and plans for a Taymor directed bdwy version of
Spider-Man for next season.

Mention of 5 shows by Basil Twist, and quotes from Basil

Quick mention of Bread and Puppet Theatre and Paul Zaloom.

Brief report on Dan Hurlin's "Disfarmer" at St Ann's Warehouse

Review of "Diva" by Sophie Krog of Denmark presented at HERE Arts Center
(really sorry I didnt know about this earlier- Diva was one of the best
shows at the UNIMA festival in Perth last year.)

The article is very respectful of our art form

Steve
