Sophie, Ben, and Old Rock

Sophie, Ben, and Old Rock

Play Video

This short video is from an improvisational experiment with two prototype puppets that I created during a puppetry residency and a puppetry intensive (Animotion) at Mermaid Theatre in Nova Scotia. Neither puppet is suited for regular performance, this piece is considered a moment of play that has been recorded and edited for sharing. Based on the story Old Rock (isn't boring) by Deb Pilutti--a friend of mine from high school.
