I’m currently performing in Polyglot Puppet Theatre’s show titled The Big Game. It’s a huge interactive board game designed for kids of all ages to get in on the action. It begins with a 30 minute performance followed by interactive play, where the children are able to get up close to the characters and challenge each other to win the game.

The Big Game has been made in collaboration with children from the Carlton high rise commission flats in Melbourne and has their creative ideas and images throughout the whole concept. It’s a fantastic show, with beautifully composed live music adding to the atmosphere.

The Age have an article about the show which can be viewed by clicking here.

It’s running until the October 26th if you want to catch the show…even better if you can’t find a babysitter.

Along with the costumes (many of which were from the Ballet), the designers sketches and photographs of the dancers giving life to the peices were on display.  It is an artform which requires huge talent; from those initial sketches which need to capture the Director’s eye, to choosing the right fabrics and then sewing it all together in a way that the performer has flexibility.

The final product is a crafted,  moving sculpture.
