I have put up a new page on my blog site with some images from the launch last week Thursday (click here). The images were taken by Sonya Roussina. It was really worthwhile to have a dedicated photographer there and not trying to take the images myself or ask my friends to do it.
I am pleased how well the format of the launch worked. It started at 7pm. The puppet show was scheduled for 7:15… I had asked my boss from the polytech, where I teach, to introduce me to the crowd before the puppet show. He was just brilliant. We had a talk for about 20 minutes and I could explain the art background of the puppets and my thoughts behind the entire project. And then I did a puppet show of maybe 5 minutes. Re-enacting what happened when the puppets found out that Hermit had written a book.
I am still smiling today…
We looked for characteristics of us students in the puppets & sometimes found them! It was a great night, many thanks for the invitation. And this image says it all for me. Congratulations and here’s to many more puppets!
Thanks for your comment. It is very much appreciated.
No, honestly… I know a few of my real friends are trying to identify who they are. Any similarities are totally coincidental. If you identify with one of them, it will remain your secret (:
I just looked at the image more carefully and I should explain who those two characters are. The one in front is Chance, minding her own business. In the background the bloke suspiciously observing Chance is The Professor.
Now I wonder if my student wanted to tell me! something (:
