Noel Lambert Touring Puppet Theatre: Use of Sets

Different things catch my eye for different reasons.  I stumbled across videos for Irish basedNoel Lambert Touring Puppet Theatre on Youtube (please check out there site to find out more about them).  The thing that jumped out at me was the colourful set design.  I think that there is a balance that needs to be [...]

Lego Mindstorms and Puppetry?

Apollo’s Pad: Amazing Characters!

There has been a good amount of buzz (here, here and here) about this new online series called Apollo’s Pad.  I recently had the opportunity to visit the set and see first hand some of the amazing puppets and puppeteering that goes into each episode.  The concept is simple and there is really only one set.  [...]

Unraku – First Workshop Performance

I am a fan of lots of different forms of puppetry and Bunraku is a form that interests me greatly.  Here is a great video of a Toronto based group called Unraku.  They performed this at a local puppet slam.  Enjoy.
