Fresh Ideas In Puppetry

Toronto School of Puppetry with support from the Raucous Caucus presents Fresh Idea’s in Puppetry, an annual day-long mini conference and festival showcasing artists taking new and groundbreaking directions in puppetry. It is a day of presentations and demonstrations, discussions and hands-on workshops, culminating in an evening of fresh new performances; it is a stimulating event for everyone interested in current developments in the art of puppetry.

 

CLUNK Puppet Lab will be performing at Fresh Ideas in the evening show at the Robert Gill Theatre.  Check out the Puppet Mongers web site for ticket info and show times: www.puppetmongers.com

 

 

CLUNK would like to say thanks to everyone that came out to see our show last fall!

 

 

A surreal puppet performance that unearths life, death, and the memories that linger in-between. What happens when you disappear from everything you hold dear, the people you remember, the place you call home?

What if this happens and you haven’t yet hit puberty?

Saija, a youthful mind, grapples with the deterioration of old age, imprisoned in a world of demented seniors, where grace becomes fear, and beauty is beleaguered by the desperation that comes with forgetting everything life is lived for.

How I Became Invisible is a hauntingly poetic, visual ballet that promises to stretch your heart with all that is beautiful in life.

Presented by The Old Trout Puppet Workshop, the show is directed by Peter Balkwill, Old Trout Co-Artistic Director. Throughout the summer, the ladies of CLUNK have been rooting about the Trout studio creating sawdust of their own and pushing the bounds of how puppetry is defined.

Also supported by Vertigo Y Stage, this performance is appropriate for ages 14 +
