IN THE WINDOW
This
toy puppet theatre is from Czechoslovakia circa 1910
on loan from the collection of Ludek Bogner.
"The puppets were manufactured
by Lubor Svorcik (*1911 - ?) from Pardubice, Czechoslovakia.
He obtained a licence for "a production of art
puppets" in 1948. He designed and produced the
puppets himself, with the help of his wife until the
early 1980's."
The Puppet Museum
Chrudim, Czech Republic
All the puppets are for sale and we have more inside.
$38ea.

CRAIG
MARIN
Craig Marin has a lifetime of experience in the field of puppetry.
A native of New York City, Craig grew up enamored with the puppets
he saw on television, eventually apprenticing for the great
Chuck McCann on WPIX. Soon he was appearing on all the local
children's shows with his unique spin on puppets.
OLGA
FELGEMACHER
Olga graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in
speech, then headed to New York City to seek employment with
her childhood idol, the legendary Bil Baird. Bil was very impressed
with Olga's acting and puppetry and signed her to a long term
contract as his lead puppeteer.

RED WAGON COLLECTIVE
AT EVANGELINE
Donations may be dropped off at Open Door Designs or email Nancy
Davis Halifax for more information.
RED WAGON COLLECTIVE: DONATIONS NEEDED:
fabric, wool, embroidery floss, needles, crochet hooks, old
sweaters
RED WAGON COLLECTIVE was formed in 2006 in response to our desire
to deepen our artistic, collaborative, and community-engaged
practices through residency projects that would enable us to
develop both intensive and extensive relationships in the Junction
- a rapidly changing neighbourhood in Toronto's west end. We
share a desire to work collaboratively with artists and non-artists
to create work that inspires new conversations; softens boundaries
between groups separated by age, culture, ability, and economic
status; promotes the presence of art in everyday life and contributes
to increasing public engagement in community development. The
work we create with communities is used in producing exhibitions,
public installations, and celebratory performance events.We
are currently working within the walls of the Evangeline Shelter.
