Relationship to Puppetry
I'm a puppet builder and designer.
What First Got Me Interested in Puppetry
I've just always loved watching the muppets and things when I was younger. I am a theatre person and make props and design things, and I guess one day I kinda got thrown into making a puppet, and have been ever since. It's a love hate relationship we have.
My Puppetry (or Puppet) Hero
I guess I do a type of bunraku mixed muppet style. Definetely admire the Henson's and Julie Taymor.
If I Were a Puppet, I'd Be...
a tomgirl version of gonzo.
More About Me:
I am a professional freelance artist, prop designer, scenic painter, and more for film and theatre. I also make puppets for film and theatre. I am the producer and director for a small production company I co-founded called "Imaginary Light Bulb Factory", that creates avant garde multi-media, multi-cultural shows. In which, I have directed, produced, and designed my first series of shows entitled "Tableau Vivant Nouveau", Which is a collaborative performance that brings paintings to life through live performance, scenic elements, music, and puppets.
I just relocated to Long Beach, California from Florida, and do crazy shenanigans everyday.

Hi there - no, I don't know David Early. Was he involved in the Dante film?? I worked on it as dramaturg and puppeteer.

I will put you on my list of theater artists. Very nice painting and upholstery! (that was a cool set, with all the pink vinyl). If you come see any of the shows in June, be sure to say hi!

Hi there! I have two performances coming up of a pair of toy theater pieces I've created with Paul Zaloom (no shadows, but still two dimensional!). We're doing The Alphabet Show for families on June 14 and 15 at Disney Hall, as part of a huge toy theater festival. See their website: http://www.musiccenter.org/education/toytheatre08.html
We're also performing an adult version of the show at REDCAT on June 14, and screening DANTE'S INFERNO, a toy theater film we both worked on at REDCAT on June 15.

best wishes,
Lynn

You rock for letting me know about this little cyber world... the bi-coastal afternoon puppet chats need a proper name I think?

Dicapria, I remember your show from the OPF Puppet Slam, which Bob Nathanson and I co-hosted, as well! Who could forget the great wings of birds' heads? I like your drawing of apartment buildings, as well... it gives an accurate sense of being overwhelmed in the City!

I remember seeing your show at last years Orlando Puppet Festival and really enjoying it. I went to your web sites and you really have amazing talents. Good luck.
