I’ve decided to do something important, something that can make a difference in the world. I’m turning this neglected blog into a well-focused puppet love machine. What the internet really needs is more links to digital media featuring puppets. The idea is that I’m going to put in a serious effort and post things several times per week. We’ll see if anyone actually reads it. It would be cool if someone did, though, huh? –crossing fingers and wishing for the witchcraft of google search results– Also, I would absolutely love it if you could share in this endeavor and make it a two-way conversation. Leave comments on my archaic, one-dimensional comment board.
Here is the detailed plan for implementation of this project
Step 1. Watch funny puppets.
Step 2. Figure out how to use the internets.
Step 3. Puppets be funny on the internets.

Hello,
My partner and I just finished this puppetry video which we created with some old finger puppets I found when I cleaned out my Dad’s house. Enjoy!
I hope you find it blog worthy.
Sincerely,
Chris

Hey I just posted a video on YouTube that you might like:
This is the collaborative multimedia project I did with the kids from WIRE (Wilmington youth center for Inspiration, Recreation, and Education), a Communities in Schools program. The workshop was held in conjunction with Wilmington’s first annual puppet festival. We created our puppets using air dry clay, and allowed each character to evolve. As we worked, we bounced around ideas for our shadow play and discussed conflict resolution as a possible theme. We talked about West Side Story, a movie set in New York City in the mid-1950s, that explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Taking our cue from the many extended dance scenes in the musical, we decided to do a shadow play in which our birds challenged each other in a dance off. The music was all performed live by the students. Enjoy and adjust your volume as necessary.
