January 2017 Bulletin

Following on from the successful performance of my first virtual puppetry piece as Teknocolour in November 2016, I have been asked to do a regular appearance at the same venue. The next one will be on the 12th January 2017.

I also have a new idea for a fully integrated combined virtual puppetry and clowning piece. The idea allows me to participate in a joint clowning piece with three or four other clowns whilst performance puppeteering a virtual puppet at the same time. The joy of collaboration at the point of creation is one which I found was missing when I was an incremental animator; those days are gone…..I have approached Jon Davison with the new idea and asked if he would like to be involved, I’m very pleased to report that he has said yes.

Jon has some ideas on possible venues for such a piece.

In addition, I will be approaching Tottenham Chances for future performances.

The themes for 2017 are: consolidate and integrate. Rather than always breaking new ground, I will be building on existing work, and looking to integrate the clowning work which has given so much more performative confidence with the performance puppetry.
