Death by Puppets

27/02/2024

Look what we are going to do!

An exploration of the non-professional arts to keep your soul alive! Join us and find out how to “doodle in the margins,” and how to fit participating in the arts into your life, viewed through the lens of puppetry. This evening starts with a lively discussion about the ways we as a society look at and value the arts– and how we can grow as artists whether or not we are asking ourselves “how do I make my living from this?”.

Celebrate how puppetry works so well as a framework for art practice as it encompasses so many aspects of the arts, and enjoy a primer on storytelling, show creation, and puppet-building materials and processes as well. We’ll build some simple puppets, have some time to play, and be led through some “performance 101.” Participants will head home with a list of resources, solid basics, and an inspiration to keep the creativity flowing.

The LA Puppetry Guild put together the 48 Hour Film Project and we entered... and shockingly took the "Best Use of Cardboard" award. Check out all the amazing films in the final screening at: https://www.facebook.com/248704868490314/videos/1086163301757206/ (for as long as it's up), or our entry on youtube below.

(and yes, Charles uploaded it to his personal youtube instead of the DxP one... maybe because it's been so long he forgot... he's trying to remember where that account info is)

With one month till DragonCon, and no slam piece planned for the DxP group this year, we thought we'd share this footage from the piece we did last year (we did a modified version of it for the Atlanta Film Festival too).

Today is "F-ing DeGroof!" Day here at DxP. It's the fifth (?) anniversary of our first time filming, and the first time we all tried to say the lines DeGroof wrote for us, and hence the first time we all yelled "F-ing DeGroof!" In the general direction of NC.
