Puppets of the week

Today I captured few nice "balloon - human" puppets during a Wednesday afternoon workshop with these children at zZmogh - a kunstfabriek here in Ghent. Next week we are going to show to the parents what we were doing during our puppetry sessions. Too early. I wish we could work all school year long. But even only after 5 sessions we have some funny material as you can see. I hope our balloon people are going to survive...

reminder

As promised here is the reminder for all of you interested in contemporary dance. Friday 06/06 and Saturday 07/06 at 20:00 in Theater Tinnenpot in Ghent performance BLIKVANGER. You can reserve your tickets via mileen@wisper.be.

Akhe

My ticket arrived!! This Saturday I make a little trip to Essen, Germany to the FIDENA festival to see the Russian engineering theatre AKHE with their show Gobo.Digital Glossary. Some years ago I had the chance to attend a workshop of object theatre with one of the members of AKHE. It was a great work. Now really curious to see the show! 

Anyway the program of the Fidena puppetry festival has much more to offer. Check out their program HERE. Enjoy the puppetry!

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!
