mice and more

It is highly recommended to visit the Mouseland on the blog Mouses Houses. It somehow reminds me of my childhood. Maybe because the old school puppet films looked a little bit like this. And they weren't ignoring small details. Or because of the snow? Very very nice work... just come here and keep scrolling :)

For the Belgian audience I have another hot tip for the second week of march! All puppetry lovers probably already heard of the BOZE WOLF festival (it means bad or angry wolf). This festival starts on the 8th of march in Aarschot. And the programme looks very very interesting! 

(And I won't be there... too bad. But than please all of you, who'd go, just let me know how it was, ok?) Have fun!

Thank You!

New show

Our kitchen turned this weekend into an atelier! Tereza (my Kukulu fellow) arrived with a car loaded with materials, machines, stages, bicycles, puppets, parts of puppets, parts of bicycles… Now we just have to bring it all together and make it work. So exciting! 

I will keep you updated, and tell you all about it very soon.

Tradaaadaa! Now back to work! ;)

(And yes, we enjoyed some ate amounts of belgian chocolate. I'll miss you Terezka!)

JUST A PAPER

I had the chance again to work with one of my favourite materials - the newspaper. 

Around ninety young people were supposed to master the work with muppets, objects and paper in five different workshops during four days. My job was to introduce them to the work with paper. Somehow it felt strange at the beginning. The paper doesn't have eyes, and mouth and it isn't colourful enough. It's just a paper...  But after some experimenting it became easier and we enjoyed preparing our paper show. Nice and smooth work with a good result. 

(And I must visit the container of the local newspaper again, I am out of material!)
