If you are not familiar with Toy Theatre at Fishmarket, it is a site run by Harry Oudekerk from the Netherlands.
Harry sponsors a wonderful bi-annual toy theatre festival. The last one was in 2009. The next one is scheduled for June 2011, and the newsletter tells you all you need to know. I wish I could attend, because the last one sounded amazing (and it was dedicated to one of my toy theatre mentors, Gigi Sandberg, who I was privileged to know for only too short a time. I am hoping there are many photos and writings from people who attend.
NOTE: If you're reading this and thinking you'll be there, I'd love to hear from you. I'm looking for a 'reporter-at-large' for the fishmarket festival similar to the wonderful Tess who helped cover the 9th International Great Small Works Toy Theatre Festival...
Be still, my heart! Thanks for the compliment! Wish I could go. Will buy a lottery ticket!
ReplyDeleteI will be performing Hansel & Gretel (Rough Magic Theatre) at this year's Festival in Vischmarkt. I am using a toy theatre decorated with real liquorice and the witch's house is also going to be made of liquorice, not gingerbread. I am charting the making process in my new blog (http://puppetlady.wordpress.com). This is my first toy theatre attempt, so please come and leave comments.
