The Endless Possibilities of Puppetry
About this Event
Please join us for an exploration of the world of puppetry as the next installment of the Arion Press Craft Talk Series!
Artist and educator Risa Lenore shares her practice, puppets, sets and performance philosophies with the audience and invites them to create a simple quick puppet. This talk explores the foundations of Puppetry as living visual storytelling that can integrate any art or craft form into a unified presentation.
Doors open at 6 PM at the Magic Theatre located in Fort Mason Building D.
The talk will be 1 hour with a reception to follow in the Arion Press Gallery.
***
Risa Lenore is known for her creativity in arts education and in her puppet creations. She is the creator, writer, director, designer and builder for more than 15 family-friendly puppet shows which have toured the San Francisco Bay Area since 2013. She is the artistic lead for Possibly Puppets- a puppet company led by materials and committed to searching through the flotsam and jetsam of our over-consumptive society to create beauty and meaning.
Ideas- thrown out like confetti, cascading.
Some catch the light, the eye, just right.
They gather in the hat
Later, they change, forming into being.
The rest become meals for the wind.
