We have had a busy run between Halloween and Bonfire Night, to celebrate here is a picture from one of last years Halloween events.
Was he after the pasties or a member of staff?!!!
Paula Bear
This Thursday sees Freya & Gumph make their final appearance as part of Centre Parcs Halloween celebration. Then its off to the puppet retirement home, aka the scrap box, to live out the rest of their days. They have served us well and whilst we are sad to see them go, we have great expectations for their replacements Cornelius and Paula Bear in the Hairy Chairs.2. Cuter characters, better operating system, lighter more performable chairs with inbuilt sound and voice amplification….big things people, big things!
Similarly this Friday sees the last outing for the Goblins in their present incarnation in and around Leigh. Or if you are in Station Square, Lowestoft then keep a weather eye out for Epico and Aurelious performing their penultimate shows of the year from their groovy new tent!
Ahhhh….progress :)
Goblins Reloaded!
First look at one of the new Goblin Chef characters that will replace our existing pair post Halloween. The Goblins were the first characters that Jamie and I ever built and the founding stone of what would become Creature Encounter, so it was through the conception, building and performance of this pair that we learnt what not to do! Re-inventing them eight years later provides an interesting opportunity to test the principles we have learnt along the way, will they work more if they embody everything we have learnt?
Return to Witham
This Saturday our small band of performers heads off to Witham International Puppet Festival, joining us in the van will be old favourites The Penguin Family and the Hairy Chairs. If your free and in the area come and enjoy a host of animated performance.
