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!)
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!)
It’s very scary, that the last weekend of January
has just arrived! How fast will the rest of the year go?
Anyway if the rest of the year will be as good
as was the first month, I can take it. And maybe I will even learn how to knit!
I was lucky to spend my birthday in Stockholm
and as a highlight of the few days stay we went to see the new show of CirkusCirkör – The Knitting Peace. Oh no, I am not talking about trained juggling
camels… Just watch this trailer for yourself. And imagine that during the
break, you could just grab two knitting sticks and knit your own little part of
many knitted pieces hanging all around the place reminding of a soft spider web.
So please, even if it’s not your birthday but you’ll
visit Stockholm for some reason, go and see Cirkus Cirkör. Just follow the
strings and knitted little objects in the town. They’ll lead you to the place
where even the peace can be knit…
Last preparations for the last Kukulu tour this last month of the year! Tomorrow I'll be on my way to Vienna again, and I will be playing our show about Lulu and Joshua. Lulu is Joshua's dog. He found him one day under the Christmas tree (of course!).
I wish you all a beautiful Christmas and I hope you will find under the Christmas tree a dog too!!
:D JOKING!! Have good one, enjoy, eat and relax! See you next year with more lemons and puppets and hopefully some good stuff to read about.
