Jan 19 2017 at Holocene for Pop + Puppetry
This was billed as the “fourth annual” Pop + Puppetry, although the fifth one happened later that same year. Reptaliens was on the bill but due to unknown circumstances, they didn’t technically perform; instead, members of the band performed with others as “Doc Dashiki”.
Holocene and local puppetry collective Beady Little Eyes present POP + PUPPETRY, an interdisciplinary extravaganza for the eyes and ears! 3 puppeteers of diverse styles (giant puppets, tiny puppets and shadow puppets, for example) will be paired with 3 inventive Portland-based pop groups. Each puppeteer will present an original puppet show created especially for this event and synced to the band’s music. The results should be dazzling, and help to elevate the experience of both artistic mediums when combined. We’ll also be screening puppet films between acts, directed and crafted by local artists.
Performers:
Vexations with puppeteers Kelly Campbell + Kristen Martz
Doc Dashiki with puppeteers Katie Shook, Summer Olsson + Katie McClenahan
Minden with puppeteers Samala Coffey, Anya Bogorad + Erin Chmela
