News of Puppeteers and their Projects
Gary Friedman is in London. He writes:
‘London is abuzz with puppetry this week. I arrived rather jet lagged, after a 24 hour flight, yesterday in a
cold, wintery, but welcoming London, right in the middle of the Suspense Puppet Festival and a myriad
of great performances.
Staying with friends in North London is not too far from the Little Angel Theatre, where the centre of the
action is taking place. In fact, I'm participating in a 'Puppetry in Politics' symposium at the Little Angel
today, which is examining how puppetry has been used to change our world, past, present and maybe
even future trends.
There's even find a write up in 'The Stage' covering Suspense Festival and events here! Keep posted for
some of my personal experiences and reviews from London.
If you want to find out even more about what's happening in the UK puppetry scene, you can find the
British publication, Animations Online here! ‘

A number of puppet makers have been
experimenting with large works recently.
Snuff Puppets have been woking with the Bellerrt Mooroop
Collage students to develop the Bunjil Creation Story . This
will be performed at the Big Opening of the Big West Festival.
Barking Spider have also been making giant lantern
puppets with Footscray North Primary for the same event and
last week Barking Spider performed with giant butterflies at
the Albury Botanic Gardens.
