Following on from yesterday’s post about the puppet-based theatre adaptation of Shaun Tan’s picture book, The Red Tree, today I discovered that Spare Parts Puppet Theatre’s adaptation of Shaun’s new book, The Arrival, had just finished it’s season in Perth. The production, which The Australian gives a rave review, uses digital animation, puppetry and […]
When I was at the Puppetry Summit, Richard Jeziorny was kind enough to show me a video of the puppet-based theatre production of The Red Tree, by Shaun Tan, which was part of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s ‘Out of the

Availabot is funny. The push puppet lives on!

Today I am continuing making a costume: decorating a suit so that it suggests a mainframe computer. Don’t ask. I’m using some of the stencils that I made for my computer bug traffic control box painting last year. I eventually found out that the reason the painting had disappeared was because a car crashed into […]

Coffee-cat, Kathleen Azali, has a cool run down on the Melbourne International Puppet Carnival, with photos, and links to a few reviews and video clips. In taking a look at her portfolio, I was interested to see Kathleen had done some making for eRTH. She made Eve, pictured here with barb barnett, in all-mother. And […]
