“The
puppet theatre can be an art theatre that need not impose or imitate but that can reveal in its singular way both new and familiar truths.” Basil Milovsoroff, Theater Arts, July 1953 |
Puppets
have a magic and power. Puppet Theater has had many great artists - some
of which I have had the honor of knowing and observing. Others, I know
only by the work I have seen in books and videotapes. These artists are
an amazingly accessible group of people, willing and honored to share
their experiences and techniques. As mentors, their contributions and
encouragements are unsurpassed. What all of these artists have learned
and cultivated inspires me constantly to continue to develop my own work,
and examine the endless possibilities the Puppet Theater holds. It is
my aspiration to learn from past and present masters and use that information
to continue to challenge myself and my work.
Glass Wings Puppetry was founded to continue to develop new works for
puppet theater and to promote through workshops, the continued exploration
of Puppet Arts.
