Thistledown Puppets » 2009

As promised, here are a number of photos (all taken by Max Barraclough) from the training that we did with the cast of “Bull” in Crete. The main cast are Duane (Bull), Rob (Pig), Rebecca (Ewe), and Hannah (Rooster). We also worked with Becky on each of the puppets since she will be the swing member, filling in when other cast members are absent. None of them had really worked with puppets before, but all of them are extremely talented performers and are quickly getting the hang of puppeteering. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and I think that the time spent one on one will prove to be valuable as they continue the season.

Bull in Crete

It’s been a great week in Crete. We worked with the cast a bit on some direction and puppeteering before seeing the show for the first time Tuesday night. It went really well. The best part of the evening was when the cast greeted the guests in the lobby with the puppets. The kids loved every minute of it…and so did we. Below are some images of the set that they are using here in Crete, as well as the script and a photo of Alex and I with the cast after the show. In the coming days, I’ll post some photos from the training sessions.
