Puppets

Puppets represented on this page are Radical Puppets. Radical Puppets are puppets with a social message. Teachers in my Graduate Puppetry Class at CUNY Queens College, constructed radical puppets under my supervision. Students used papier-mâché, paint, assemblage and fabric. This experience encouraged creative ideas in understanding social, and environmental aspects of human experience. The theme of this performance Mother Nature is Angry, was performed in and sponsored by the Queens Museum of Art.
