Today, we are diving into the world of puppetry and I am so excited to have Caroline Bernier Dionne with me. Since 2007, she has integrated puppetry into her multidisciplinary artistic practice. Her many talents include multiple styles of puppet manipulation, interpretive movement, clowning, stilt-walking, and figure skating. Caroline graduated with a degree in theater and worked for several theater companies, film, and television. Recently, she performed on ice with Cirque du Soleil on the touring show Axel. She investigates the intersections between live performance and cinematographic capture and Caroline loves to share her work with the local puppetry community and connect puppeteers all over the globe.
In the podcast, we exchange about Giant puppets, the importance of breath and the early magical moments of truth while getting to know collective animated puppets and the bond it shapes.
From there, we explored the possibilities that digital formats bring along for puppetry but as well for the promotion of the arts.
You can join the free Online Puppet Gala 2021 on January 30th.
