We were recently blessed with the opportunity
to travel abroad. And there's more to come for sure...
|
Jason, Mary, Spencer, John, Amy, Gretchen and Wendy in Oulu, Finland.
In October of 2003, Drama of Works was invited to the Barents Region
International Puppetry Festival. They were one of two American companies,
sharing the honor with Eric Bass's Sandglass Theatre. They performed
FOUR shows: curiouser and curiouser, Doctoer Faustus,
On the Backs of Fishes and the big hit: The Sid & Nancy
Punch & Judy Show. They also made some amazing new friends!
We're forever grateful Akseli Klonk (Jann, Tommi, Tuomus, Sirpa, Kiimo
and Nikolai) and Alina!!!

John, Spencer, Gretchen, Wendy and Amy in Istanbul.
May 5th-12th, Drama of Works was at the Istanbul International Puppetry
Festival. According to their site, they are the first American company
to be invited in years - if ever! They performed WARRIOR to two
great crowds and got a cool award to take home! Thanks to Larry of Shadowlight
Productions for being our American comrade, Albert for teaching us about
finger exercises, Guillome for a great tech and Carlos...he knows why...

Fred, Crystal,
Gretchen, Spencer, Amy and John in Prague.
Later in May, the crew travelled to Prague for the 8th World Festival
if Puppet Art. We performed WARRIOR and it was a special time
cause Crystal got to come along and see her play done internationally.
We even got an award! The jury gave us a special honor for ORIGINAL
ADAPTATION. What an honor! And again we add new friends to our
list of puppet peers: Ronney, Ahmad, and of course the girls of Kivotos
Mithon (Bessie, Maria, Stella and Spiridoula)!

Next,
Gretchen goes to Bali July 15th.
Gretchen has been accepted into the UCLA APPEX program where she will
travel to Bali to study international collaboration for six weeks. Stay
tunes for updates and photos from that trip!
