  • The Winnipeg Puppet Slam

    I have been involved in the Winnipeg Puppet Slam since it's beginning in 2010 and have been it's curator/producer since 2017.  Puppet Slams are puppet variety shows by and for grownups.  The Puppet Slam Network (https://www.puppetslam.com/) was started in part by Heather Henson (daughter of Jim Henson) who still helps to fund puppets slams through her Green Feather Foundation.  This series of photos show some of my contributions to the Winnipeg Puppet Slams throughout the years:  My exploration of puppetry arts has been fairly diverse ranging from full body costume puppets to traditional hand and rod puppests to shadow puppets.  Videos of our live shows can be found here: (https://www.youtube.com/@winnipegpuppetslam9150).
