tupera tupera

Do you know the feeling, when you have something beautiful and you want to play with it, but you don't want to destroy it? You don't want to use it so the fun wouldn't be over? I have it right now with this book from Japanese designers Tupera Tupera. Found it in muji store in Paris. You can put stickers of noses, eyes, moustaches or hair on to various faces. But you can also give a face to apples, or cookies or cups or shells or... or.. or... eggs! 

I will wait for the right time to come to play. 

Have a playful Easter!

Visit tupera tupera, if not for much of reading, at least for some joy of nice web design.

Sometimes you just need to dance...

... or watch dancers dance. For example on an open rehearsal of a dance class of Wisper or even better in June when their performance will be ready. You can see the result in Antwerp and in Ghent and I will let you know when!

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!)
