![]() I recently attended an online sustainability symposium hosted by Wild Rumpus which was looking at all the things that we are, could and should be doing to make our work as outdoor artists more sustainable.Īt the beginning of the year we made a big step as a household and as a theatre company towards greater sustainability by swapping our vauxhall zafira for a second hand Nissan leaf. Paul Jackson (our next pitch neighbour) was very friendly and helpful and we also met Cath March of “ Invisible Needs” who kindly put us all up at her flat for the weekend, many thanks to both of them. We also brought the Rough Magic flag with us for the parade which was originally made for Glastonbury Festival.Īs well as seeing a few old friends we met some new ones. Punch, however, and I fear that I might be better off bringing the crocodile instead of Judy if there is a next time. There was a bit of argument over who should have Mr. Max has appeared on TV in Crackerjack amongst other appearances and should definitely be given his own TV show (in my opinion).Īnthony and Miranda really enjoyed themselves and did the whole of the big parade with their Punch and Judy puppets. but missed Harry Hill as we decided to stay with our pitch and didn’t realise that he was the “special event at 3pm.” We also met the incredibly talented ventriloquist/comedian Max Fulham in person for the first time. We saw some famous TV puppeteers including Phil Fletcher, Warwick Brownlow-Pike, Ronnie le Drew etc. ![]() However, for busking purposes, I can’t help wondering now if the “Jabberwocky!” show would have been better, as with only 8 puppets, the turn around time for performing again would have been faster. ![]() I decided to do our “ Edward Lear’s Nonsense” show as it is slightly longer than “Jabberwocky!” and thought people would feel they were getting more value for money, I had also already performed “Jabberwocky!” in London and felt like it was worth trying out the other show this time. It is of course possible to do the show in less sunny weather and indeed night time events as I can use my battery powered strip light for that. Here are some pictures we took while performing at the Covent Garden May Fayre and Puppet Festival on Sunday.Īs you can see, we had excellent weather for shadow puppetry as it turned out to be a very sunny day, (that is all using sunlight with no artificial light at all). ![]()
