Band of Puppets Fest #Brooklyn

Band of Puppets Fest is an annual series featuring new work from selected puppetry artists working within a musical theme.  Our festival this December 2011 will focus on the music of Michael Jackson.  We challenge our artists to incorporate video into their performances, with the goal of uniting the aural landscape of music with the visual expression of puppetry.

STATUS: Not Active, Reformatted, 2010-2011

CURATORS: Sue Kessler, Amanda Maddock

PERFORMERS: Andrea Detwiler, Eliza Laytner and Tanner Slick, Little Did Productions, No.11 Productions, One Whole Asian Productions, Patty Nelson

DETAILS: Due to the similarity of our festival conceit to the “Puppet Play List” series at The Tank, we are currently re-working our parameters to include mandatory video. We believe this will help to define our festival as a unique offering, as well as support an important and ever-changing tool in the puppetry medium. Our theater is well equipped to support use of both live and pre-recorded video, and we are ready to offer our support and services to artists at any experience level with the video format.

"The Slam Network has helped us greatly with connecting with puppetry artists and publicizing our events."
