Dogugaeshi at Vidy Lausanne


Our theater was on stilts at the Theatre Vidy in Lausanne, Switzerland, one of my favorite spots in the world.  And its all about the people.  What a great staff and exciting artists.  Well that and the great beer in the theater cafe. Thank you for a fabulous run throughout the entire month of January 2014

La Divina Caricatura by Mabou Mines

After several years of work on tough bunraku style puppetry with the master of magic, Lee Breuer, and puppet director Jessica Scott, La Divina Caricatura came to life at La Mama theater in December 2013. I was pleased to play the feet of the dog, the feet of the preacher, and the sadomasochistic cat and telephone.

Firebird at City Center



My favorite parts to perform in the puppet ballet set to Strivainky's Firebird piece were: being the top of the tree, and puppeteering the cloak of the evil Koschei!  What a great team of people to work with! Thank you directors Chris Green and David Neumann.

Flying Squirrels

I'd been planning to be a flying squirrel for Halloween for two years.  This year I got it together and had a great time squirreling with Twist's giant spider at the library tower and again at the Taj Ma Harlem!

Dogugaeshi Tour


The serene and powerful and overwhelming puppet show, Dogugaeshi by Basil Twist came out of storage for a sweet Fall tour in 2013.  One of my favorite puppet shows, it was wonderful to perform again, with new and old cast members.  The Tandem Otter team performed at Hamilton College in NY (who knew a piƱata and panaramic pictures could be so much fun), the Japan Society in NYC, Redcat in L.A. and U.C. Berkeley.

Forklift Ballet


I am ever proud of my courageous friends for mounting strange projects with heavy machinery.  This time I got to dance with a pallet jack in a forklift ballet designed by Sarah Mac.  Performed at the Queens Museum parking lot during the Empire drive-in installation.  Oct. 2013

Seafoam Sleepwalk

An intrepid journey by non-seafaring puppeteers led us to the La Jolla Playhouse to perform a new puppet show by Basil Twist in the Pacific Ocean in October 2013.  It was an adventure.
