I had a really enjoyable build recently, making a swag of zany puppets and props for Canberra Youth Theatre<\/a>‘s production TANK<\/em>, which is playing now at Canberra’s spring flower extravagaza, Floriade<\/a>.\u00a0 TANK<\/em> is a rather Pythonesque look at our relationship to water, written by Adam Hadley, directed by Pip Buining, and designed by Imogen Keen. It’s told in six 6-minute stories, played to an audience of six per story. Performances are free and run at Floriade on 12,13, 19, 20, 26 and 27 September 2009. Later, on 23 – 28 November, it will play in Garema Place in Canberra CBD, at 11am and 12noon.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the puppets and props; check my Flickr portfolio set<\/a> for others.<\/p>\n
