THEATRE
ROYAL DELUXE
from Nantes, France is one of my mostest favouritest
puppet spectacles ever. The latest one has added another
characher to the troupe, the Mexican dog El Xolo. Here are some
selected Youtube videos. Their own website is a work in progress
but there are lots more videos of past shows.
" A puppet-proportioned body hangs
from the puppeteer's neck. If the performer dresses in black
and performs against black, the illusion is that the human head
appears on a small, comic body. The puppeteer, wearing black
gloves, manipulates the limbs with rods attached to the hands
and heels. The performer's hands might also fit into small shoes
to operate the feet with a second puppeteer manipulating the
arms. The "triplets" number from the classic Fred
Asatire movie "Bandwagon" is a perfect example of
a humanette."
PROCESSIONAL ARTS WORKSHOP: A Brief History
In 1998 Alex Kahn and Sophia Michahelles began collaborating on
pageant puppetry commissions for New
York's Village Halloween Parade. Gathering around them an
ensemble of artists, stage technicians, performers, and other
volunteers, they called themselves Superior Concept Monsters,
and inherited a pageant arts tradition that went back to the origins
of the renowned event, when Ralph Lee first brought out his giant
puppets on Halloween Night in 1973. With the support of VHP artistic
director, Jeanne Fleming, SCM has continued to expand the scope
of their work, while maintaining strong community roots through
local Puppetraisings, open workdays when hundreds of volunteers
come together to work, eat, and collaborate on a single artistic
goal.

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.
