Cast and Collaboration

March 31, 2020

Puppetry--mercurial purveyor of music, literature, visual arts, and performance --the pure multi-disciplinary medium.   It is a meld of interrelated jobs, skills, and responsibilities, all adding up to an ultimate team effort. 

In the best of all puppet worlds, this team effort leads to the sacred core of  theatrical activities – creative sharing.  In this, the great irony is that the act of sharing ideas is often more important than the ideas themselves.  A purely devised collaboration is felt beyond the stage production itself and the unity of the cast.   It is  clearly felt by the audience.  And in the audience we find our ultimate collaborator -- theatrical transcendence.
