Commissioned by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, I created 5 shadow puppet sequences in their production of THE TEMPEST. The puppetry was integrated into the shipwreck set, rear projected on up to 3 screens using halogen lamps. Since this is a relatively long running show (and out-of-state), I made most of these puppets from laser cut wood and vinyl mounted on PETG plastic. I then trained the actors on the puppet choreography.
