random cool websites we like:

it's a great company doing valuable work for 20 years now.

thought provoking - our favourite is: I have a degree; I speak French; my clothes are still wet
super:anti:reluctant, a new ensemble show from Mugwumpin in San Francisco - Celeste Martinez
(performer) is not only beautiful + extremely gifted, we suspect she is the nicest person who ever lived
Tuta Theatre, where collaborator Alice Wedoff has been hitting the boards this year - between other
acting gigs on stage + in film - make sure you check out the photo galleries for Tracks and Still Life -
Alice is the extremely beautiful blonde bombshell - we hope she remembers us when she's famous ;-)
Tony Clifton Circus, object theatre for people that hate object theatre - these guys are bloody
hilarious - we love them (with a little bit of hate) - if anyone from TCC reads this - please give me a
Rubbish Rabbit t-shirt!
Sexual Fables, nothing to do with puppetry - and not pornographic - just very interesting essays
about literature, history, and philosophy - read it
KidPraha, before carving a wooden marionnette you MUST go to Prague and do a workshop with Mirek
- invaluable technical + creative training that will help you create any puppet (or anything) in wood
training and professional development
Victorian College of the Arts, Australia's own exceptional puppetry training program - open to
international students. The VCA has been instrumental in the development of SIXPACK and Venom.
