Puppe'n'Dance
offers
a unique combination of dance pieces and puppets plays, as well as
collaborations using mime, gesturing, puppets, movement and drama,
to make folk tales from around the world come alive. It's what we
call Puppe'n'Dance.
Puppe'n'Dance Pieces fully integrate stage puppets, who seem
to act like humans and dancers, some times acting like puppets (we
call them "puppendancers"). Here are some examples of what happens
when we do what we do.
