Puppet Show


Poster design: Ben Kinsley







So last night was the Invading Spaces show at Spaces Galley here in Cleveland,OH. Our Puppet show went well, we got lots of laughs, mostly at our sloppiness (which we didn't mind one bit 'cuz that's what made it fun!) We performed 4 times throughout the 3 hour event. It was all recorded and when we get the time, the videos will be posted on youtube, or vimeo, and I'll post it on here as well. Samm ,Alexis, Chadd and I all had a blast!

here is a description of the event that was emailed out:


INVADING SPACES

Friday Nov20th/6-9PM
SPACES (3rd floor loft)
2220 Superior Viaduct, Cleveland, OH, 44113

A one-night only extravaganza featuring temporary, site-responsive works created inside, outside, and all around the 3rd floor of SPACES galley. This Project is a collaboration between students in two T.I.M.E.-Digital Arts classes at the Cleveland Institute of Art: "Creative Coding, Hacks, and Space" and "Media Installation". The event is facilitated by artist Ben Kinsley, who has worked with the students for 6 weeks through workshops and studio consultations.

Ben Kinsley is a multidisciplinary artist who creates site-specific responses to particular situations, often through collaboration and playful exchange with local residents. His projects have ranged from conducting an orchestra of screaming humans, directing a maritime-themed play for boaters on a lake in Maine, organizing a shadow play in the middle of the California High Desert, and choreographing a neighborhood intervention into Google Street View.

BFA preparation and Invading Spaces Show



Well, it has been quite busy around here with BFA work, website development, and preparing for a puppet show with Samm and Alexis Hippler at Spaces Gallery.
The top image is a concept drawing for the costume I will be wearing for my BFA and constructing over winter break. Once I have my revised thesis statement, I'll post that as well.
Secondly, the puppet show should be pretty fantastical and funny. There will be other performance and interactive pieces throughout the 3 hour event so if any of you out in the world of the INTERWEBZ that are anywhere near Cleveland Ohio on Nov. 20th, stop by Spaces for a good time! See u there!
