After the closing of "We Are All Strangers Here" I was approached by Carly Bales, Artistic Director of EMP Collective, to be the Puppet Designer for their upcoming production: POTATOES OF AUGUST. <br />
<br />
EMP Collective has since won Best Of Baltimore Award for Best Multiuse Space for Arts and Entertainment. This will be their first show since receiving the award.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana Bold";"><b>Ishi’s
Brain </b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">is a show by </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lisa Krause</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> and Eamon Espey that incorporates
shadow puppets, a marionette, masks and a liberal use of painted cardboard.
It is based on a chapter in Eamon Espey’s new graphic novel, <i><a href="http://secretacres.com/?wpsc-product=songs-of-the-abyss-by-eamon-espey">Songs of the Abyss</a></i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> published
by Secret Acres. The initial inspiration comes from the true story, but is by no means a historical re-enactment. Krause and Espey’s performance focuses on a lone spirit in his final days and an alien shaman who helps guide the dead into the next world. Original soundtrack by <a href="http://www.bakerartistawards.org/nominations/view/stephensantillan/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Stephen Santillian</span></a> of Baltimore bands <i>Ghost Life</i> and <i>Thank You</i>.</span></div>

We arrived at the Hollywood Theater on Friday afternoon to
unload our show for Saturday’s <a href="http://gridlords.tumblr.com/">Gridlords 12</a> performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Hollywood is an impressive old
art-deco theater from the early 1900s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We got there a little early and saw the show listed on the marquee, as
well as our photo on the upcoming events poster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

After meeting some of the theater’s staff, we were
shown around. The room where we would perform seats around 300 people, and
has a stage and large screen for film/projection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were led through a dressing room area past the mirrors
and makeup lights to the back stage area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The room had ancient wooden floors and old cinema equipment with the
large letters for the marquee stacked in neat piles on tables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We picked a safe space to store all of
our stuff and headed out to start unloading the car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During that time, we met Sean Christiansen- the organizer of
Gridlords, Emily Nielson who would co-M.C., and several of the other artists
who would be performing with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

Sean had been amazing the whole time preparing for the show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He arranged for <a href="http://lisakrause.blogspot.com/2013/04/gridlords-portland-interviews-with.html">interviews</a> and did
amazing publicity for the show. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
more people arrived for tech meetings, we all got more excited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having an event at a venue this large
was a first for both Gridlords and us- and it was looking to be a really great show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really admired Sean’s excitement and
ability to organize such a huge ongoing event series for Portland’s comics
community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

We unloaded into the theater and spread our things across
the stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We began building our
puppet stage so that we could spike the projection screen to make setting up
for<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturday’s show as easy as
possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were one of 4 acts
performing, but the show also included projections and live music. Lots to
stage manage! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We chose to go first because of our setup/breakdown time and
stored our things before going to check in at Stumptown Comic Fest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I grabbed the poor broken Ishi marionette
and we headed over to Oregon Convention Center in our much lighter car.<br />

After checking in, Eamon returned to the car with our
badges- remarking about how huge the place is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was our first time on the west coast for a comic
convention, and we were excited to be there in support of Eamon’s new book, our
tour, and Secret Acres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next to
fix the puppet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then headed to
the hardware store near Scott Harrison’s house, where we would be staying for
the weekend. <a href="http://www.headbandbrothers.com/">Scott Harrison</a> is a renowned tattoo artist, painter, and raconteur.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was excited to meet Scott, because Eamon has talked about
him so highly over the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> He</span> had been an influential teacher for Eamon when he was in school,
but their relationship flourished over the years as penpals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sharing work and ideas through writing,
they’ve discussed everything from technique to personal politics to health
issues and the joy and pain of following your artistic goals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Scott</span> swung open the door and gave Eamon
shit immediately, in the manner of one of my favorite type of Chicago smartass
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He then got me to work
immediately fixing my marionette in his impressive basement woodworking
studio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a short while we headed
out to get some drinks while the glue dried.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a nice evening meeting Scott and his wife
Jennifer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were very warm and
welcoming, and we were able to really relax with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> During our stay we got to see some of Scott's most recent paintings, as well as some older work. </span><br />

Saturday morning we left for the convention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d heard that “Stumptown ain’t what
it used to be” but we were still looking forward to the convention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always find the comic fests to be
pretty fun, because there are always really excited people there and lots of
interesting things that people make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They can be exhausting, but its fun for me because I get to talk about
the great work by all the artists Secret Acres publishes and explain the things
I like about each of the books. I imagine its harder if you actually are one of
those artists representing yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Its also great to see old friends from across the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

The fest had a really positive atmosphere. While there were
a few weird costumes of mainstream superheroes or steampunks, they kinda kept
us from getting bored because it was unusual to see people in costume at any
comic show I’ve ever been to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus
they kept acting weird so it was pretty funny.<br />

I had a lot of fun and Eamon sold many books and a ton of

The show that night was insane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nearly 200 people came to watch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By the time we’d gotten to Portland, we had performed the show 10 times
and felt totally ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
very exciting to do our show in such a professional venue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also very meaningful because while many people there were friends others were also comic
artists familiar with Eamon’s work that may not have known what to expect when
hearing that he’d co-created a puppet show.<br />

After the convention we headed to Eugene to stay with
Chelsea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a fun night
talking with her, and said goodbye in the morning as she headed to teach her
German students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>We went to
breakfast at a hippie place in town. As we were paying for parking, a serious
burnout was leaning over a newspaper box near the train station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was intently staring at his
ticket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without looking up he said<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“…Hey. hey dude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>…What does this mean: ‘<i>RETAIN</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> during trip’…does that mean they’re going to be </span><i>watching</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> me?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Wow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was like he was
hired to fulfill the stereotype of Eugene.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Everything in Eugene seemed to move at that pace, and as we
drove we felt we were on a spiral of some sort, until we found the Jiffylube
where we obtained the fastest most non-bullshit customer service of our
lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people that worked
there were seriously running from car to car- shouting information and
recording things as if it was an Emergency Room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t believe how they worked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was as if the entire life force of
city’s population was demonstrated by the 5 people working there.</div>

We headed out of town for a strange trip down the California
coast, made stranger by a slowly developing head cold that Eamon first
attributed to the strangeness of Eugene, and later Eureka.</div>

While on tour with <i>Ishi's Brain</i>, Eamon and I had the opportunity to facilitate Shadow Puppetry Workshops for a wide variety of participants and venues. We shared our experience and talked about the International history of shadow puppetry with youth, art and puppetry enthusiasts, puppeteers, teachers, and senior citizens in California, Ohio, and New Mexico.<br />

We found a bench facing the water and split a vegan Indian dish while a man busked behind us. It was good to be back in Seattle, however it was jarring to be in a city. It was funny to think that earlier that morning we had been drinking coffee by a campfire in the desert.<br />

On the way to Minneapolis we got word from Tom Kacynski they
had gotten 10 inches of snow the night before. It was late in the season for
even Minneapolis to get so much snow. Luckily the sun was very bright as
evident in this picture so the streets were fine.<br />

We both have always really liked Minneapolis. And we
especially like hanging out with Tom and Nikki. Nikki is a projectionist and
has read more books than any person on the planet. Actually she’s probably read
more books than every person on the planet combined. Their house is a fantastic
library and has become even more so now that Tom’s publishing house Uncivilized
Books has taken off. Cool books are everywhere. Finally got a copy of Tom’s Beta
Testing the Apocalypse which I am looking forward to reading.<br />
Tom’s comics are
unlike anything else. They are philosophical essays in comic form dealing with
the repercussions of technological advancement and the consequences societies
face under both Socialist and Capitalist governments. </div>

When we made the show it was assumed that we would perform in comic or book stores. However the size shut that down. It’s kind of worked out nice though because we have been able to perform in a variety of spaces. Anyway we were excited to have our first bookstore event.</div>

Within 10 seconds of our show a child started crying.
Parents beware! We are vultures! Preying on your children with our evil puppet
show!! …just kidding. Turns out it was Zak Sally’s daughter. We felt bad that
she got scared and disappointed Zak didn’t get to see the show. Sorry Flossie!<br />

The show went on and we brought some heavy weirdness to an otherwise very
bright place. My cousin, Christina, came so there was another Espey in the

The show went well and Wume played great. Thank you Rhonda.
Afterwards we packed up in the rain. We did a good job considering it was dark,
wet and Lisa and I were both beat. We sat in the car in the parking lot and
split a leftover omelet from breakfast. It tasted better than expected. Then we
headed to meet good friends Brittany and Matt in a bar that had a fireplace.
Brittany aesthetic assessment of the place was “masculine Marie Antoinette”
which was right on. When we got back to their apartment we passed out in Lord’s
room. </div>

First days of tour going great! We're learning how to pack the car- and its amazing that we can get the whole show in there. This is the cargo carrier and roof rack we bought with the funds from Indiegogo. So thanks everybody!<br />
It was raining the morning we left, but we had packed the night before- putting our cardboard show in contractor bags.</div>

A short drive the next morning to Columbus, where we had a chance to stop along the way for some T'ai Chi at a rest stop. It was nice to take some of the edge off from driving, and we thought our teacher Kariem would be happy to know we're trying to keep up the practice. We arrived at <b>Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo (SPACE)</b>, where Eamon was sharing a table with friends J.T. Dockery and Mark Rudolph. I took a nap in the hotel lobby for a hot minute, and then got teased by J.T. and Mark for already being beat at the front end of tour! The festival was pretty well attended and we had a chance to catch up with Jeremy Baum, Sean Ford, Matt Kish, John Porcellino, Gabby Schulz and Tom Spurgeon.<br />

Our performance that night was at Kafe Kerouac, a bookstore/coffeehouse near Caitlin McGurk's house. We performed with The Smacks! (J.T. Dockery and Brian Manley), Leela Corman and Maddie Fix. It was a really well attended after party- full of people from the festival and some people from off the street. It was fun to perform with Comic Artists who are also musicians. The other acts used projections of their comic art behind their performances. I was excited to finally see The Smacks! play- they're pretty legendary and brought some danger with their hit song "Sex Apple." I'm excited to perform with them again in their hometown of Lexington, Kentucky on our way back east next month. I'm sure the crowd will be a blast!<br />

After returning from my summer with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6891173670703853731#editor/target=post;postID=2585040910027288514">Bread and Puppet</a>, Eamon and I began working on a performance of his comic <i>Ishi's Brain</i> for the November 2012 release of his new book <i>Songs Of The Abyss</i>. We started working in August and enlisted the help of many friends throughout the process. Many long days, nights, and lists later- we performed for over 100 people at Windup Space for Eamon's art opening/book release party in Baltimore.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Brothers Quay at MoMA 11Nov2012</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D6luqun0kOo/ULI9YoKyJ-I/AAAAAAAABio/AKg9sfNgWvI/s1600/quays11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D6luqun0kOo/ULI9YoKyJ-I/AAAAAAAABio/AKg9sfNgWvI/s320/quays11.JPG" width="240" /></a>While in New York for Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival, we went to MoMA to see the first retrospective of the lifetime of work from the Brothers Quay. I was very moved by that show- and that really doesn't happen often enough for me. When first entering the exhibit, the room is dark and a ghostly black and white film is projected onto the wall you first see when entering. Behind you is a large photograph of the twins and their mother- with branches of trees installed in the gallery. Watching the film loop from beginning to end and the hypnotic flickering light and music put me in the right state of mind to enjoy the show most deeply. I slowly walked through the exhibits- reading handwritten notes and stage directions, inspecting puppets and set construction and watching films. I drew a bunch in my notebook but grew really annoyed at the iPhone people- quickly moving through the exhibit snapping pictures. I didn't take any photos but stole these from people who posted them online- but it doesn't matter since they shouldn't have been taking them anyway. The more annoyed I got, the slower I moved through the show. And so despite those people, I found that the slower I moved and longer I took- the more the show ingrained itself into my mind in a way that just taking photos can't achieve. <br />

Friends I met at Bread and Puppet this summer came through touring their new performance <i>Endless Distances of Desire</i>. I set up a sold out show for them at Black Cherry and it was great to see their work. Part shadow puppets, part masked dance and live music- it was a beautiful myth: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">“Wilderness has been relegated and subjugated as an innately dangerous and barren desert in our world of buildings that scrape the sky and flickering boxes in every living room. Our hero travels deep in the belly to find the guts of the wild.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"> </span></div>

They are now a 3 piece with the addition of Rob Lowe (Lichens, 90 Day Men), and his haunting singing and percussion is a great compliment. Al Cisneros has a presence like a doom metal J Mascis, while exploring the same realm as Daniel Higgs. It was a huge contrast to seeing High on Fire in DC the night before. I can't imagine what the personality types must have been like in Sleep. Anyway, I really was affected by them and their humble appreciation. That show is staying with me, and prompted me to reflect and post about the wave of experiences from this entire month.<br />

The tour poster is beautiful, and so I looked up their artist. I'm so excited about DV D'Andrea's illustrations. Reading a bit about his bio, he seems to go to a place much like ours- surrounded by old books with scientific flora/fauna, occult, alchemical imagry and mysticism, plant life and bones.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I spent just over a month this summer as an apprentice with
Bread and Puppet in Glover, Vermont.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is something that I’ve wanted to do for about 10 years, since when
I was more of an activist doing Food Not Bombs and working at New World
Resource Center in Chicago.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But it was something out of reach in my former life. While it is easier now, coming up with the money to drop out of my life for a month was hard to do.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But now after the experience- I can't imagine not having done it.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am thankful now that I can go because of my current lifestyle, flexible occupations, and Eamon.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before leaving, I knew that going to Bread and Puppet is a chance to live collectively among activists and artists while collaborating on political puppetry and I was curious about the way that something like this can actually happen.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

years.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have come to realize that

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bread and Puppet began as community theater, tackling the neighborhood issues inherent to a city such as New York, but it quickly grew. The idea was to make political theater in the streets of New York in the 60s as a reaction to Vietnam. To interrupt the faceless masses of people trying to hold on to conservative ideas during a time of world-wide insanity. Only a few people who had some of the facts were freaking out in their minds. What can be done? Tell their stories. Perhaps the urgency was due to the lack of information available at that time, before computers gave us more than we can understand. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“For us there was a need to create something better than stupid leaflets and intellectualizing- its boring." Peter said, "It’s the color and speed that gets to people.”</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Peter Schumann began as a sculptor. He uses scrap materials and works with the clay dug from the farm in all of it's awful naturalness. He moves quickly from project to project. Sculpting, painting, carving... we come to finish it with paper-mache over the clay, rigging the puppets, or printing his woodcuts. I had a very liberating feeling there watching him work. Seeing him work quickly with whatever is available was one of many realizations that helped me reflect on my own values. Its funny how a 70+ year old man can be more of a punk anarchist than I ever was. He works hard with whatever is available- using cardboard collected from local businesses, mixing glue from cornstarch-based packing peanuts, and painting with leftover house paint- everything is recycled. The aesthetic is raw, quick, unapologetic, and intense. If you need it, you make it. Like when I needed a strap to carry my drum- in 2 min. I was quickly shown how to make one from a flat bike inner tube, trash foam, and duct tape.</span></span></h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Peter's aesthetic style of woodcut is as much part of Bread and Puppet as the puppets are. Jagged words chalked out and cut into scrap masonite and printed on old bed sheets with watered down house paint. Swirling archetypes, iconography and words in a form of english intended for a more urgent impending time. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During our visit, Peter and Elka gave us a tour of the print shop. Peter told us about how in New York he would use the masonite that was ripped out of the tenement houses that were constantly being gutted- or from the backs of furniture thrown in the alleys. He makes the woodcuts in the quiet winter months and while it used to be his wife Elka that decided the color and printing, Lila prints them now- working with Elka on those decisions. The fabric prints are often sewn into things used in our parades and performances as well as stocking the museum store with posters, banners, patches, flags, etc.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Bread and Puppet Museum is in what used to be a dairy barn from the 1800s. It's a massive building that houses work from across the 50 years of the theater's existence. In addition to puppets of all sizes there are dioramas, reliefs, small paintings on cardboard, flat wooden figures and giant paper mache globes. Each stall and bay has scenes of shows with puppets of various sizes in themes such as Anti-Vietnam War, the assassinations of Oscar Romero and Chico Mendes, My Lai Massacre, Cambodian genocide, Environmental themes, angelic figures, Uncle Fatsos- the grotesque counterpart of Uncle Sam, Persephone, St. Francis, Medieval and Pagan figures, giant red demons representing the threat of nuclear war, and the garbage men and washer women who fix everything.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During my internship, I had the good fortune of getting my first choice of jobs- working in the Museum. I really enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with work that has spanned the entire history of Bread and Puppet. I enjoyed the intimate experience with all of the work while cleaning the exhibits and even got to repair some of Peter's work that had proven its impermanence a little too soon. After our Friday night shows, I was often staff in the museum store and got to anonymously overhear audience members reaction to the shows, learned how far they travelled to come, and also helped to educate the public on some of the exhibits. My favorite part of the job was getting to know and working directly with Elka Schumann.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every morning began with a meeting at 9am during which Peter would lay out the plan for the day ...which would then be amended at the 2pm afternoon meeting. He would often give quick plans for rehearsals, or the development of shows and other projects on the agenda- and then he'd be off to finish baking bread, paint a contestoria, sculpt or paint new puppets. It was then turned over to those just under Peter that would decide how exactly things would get done- these were the puppeteers who have been working with Bread and Puppet for many years. Most days there were 40-60 of us- we'd pick our jobs to be handled in smaller groups and reconvene after siesta. At the end of each morning meeting, we sang Shape Note songs. This was something very difficult for me because I don't just sing all the time, and I had an involuntary repulsion to many of the songs because of their Christian themes. Later though I realized the epic intensity of reviving songs written ages ago out of awe and reverence for nature. Maybe it was a survival tactic, but I began to realize how many of the most apocalyptic songs would be great metal covers. It was felt great to start the day yelling with a huge group of friends.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Word quickly got around among my new friends that I loved the idea of a shape-note metal band, and so by late in the month something epic happened. Eamon came up to visit with Matthew Thurber and Rebecca Bird- and they bore witness to one of the most amazing things that has ever happened for my birthday: Sacred Harpcore. A huge group of some of my favorite people made my idea happen! It was amazing to see a them get all dressed up, sharpie tattooed, and growl the lyrics to these songs. I was really shocked and before it was over they grabbed me, a pit broke out, and they crowd-surfed me! Hilarious!</span></div>

We revisited a parade that they had done in New York for May Day this past year. It was a chapterized performance where the first part involved many people inside of a boat that was made of a long continuous printed fabric and several large flags that look like sails- each person holds up a section and dips while walking forward. I was in the a drumline in the boat that alternated with the yodeling singers, giving them a break and keeping momentum for the length of the parade. There were random interruptions by cymbalists that ran around the boat clashing- signaling rough seas and the sinking of the boat. People would thrash the fabric back and forth and collapse to the ground- drowned, while the drums were beating wildly. We would then resurrect with Genevieve Yeuillaz beginning the calling yodel from the front of the boat- echoing back and forth until the sails and boat rose and we began to march again.</span></span></span></h3>

Behind them were the 1% stilters and their brass band- dressed in fancy clothes and drinking cardboard martinis saying "they're all in the same boat". Following them were skeleton with long arms wearing signs that said "Excellent Wind" representing the controversial wind farming- and the end were children dressed in blue waving flags that said "the Wave of the Future". Reactions were varied from applause to crossed arms, support to confusion- but Peter said it was one of our most successful parade performances. Each town had invited us and were happy we were there to add a spectacle to their annual parade celebration.</span></span></span><br />

Either we were practicing for the Friday show, the Sunday Pageant, or developing acts for the Sunday Circus. The process of developing acts began with us listing ideas and inter-/national or local issues that we were passionate about. It was facilitated by the staff puppeteers, and they would do a great job guiding projects and helping them be most successful. We would go over the list in small parts deciding which acts we each would want to participate in. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Then we would break off to go to the shed where all of the masks, puppets, and props are stored. There were things made over the course of the history of Bread and Puppet available for us to use in this space. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h3>

I enjoyed wandering the walkways exploring all the giant boxes and masks hanging overhead. This process was pretty hard for me, because I'm not used to improvisational acting. But it was always interesting to see what everyone was able to come up with in the 20 minutes or so that we had to put something together before showing it to the group. Acts that weren't used in the Circus were available to be revisited on our own as Ding-Dongs- side shows that happen before the Circus starts, as a way to welcome the audience that trickles into the Circus Field. Peter seemed to appreciate the new interpretations of characters created for acts and performances long ago.</span></span></h3>

So much can be conveyed in humor or absurdity, even when the theme is somewhat bleak. After returning from the shed and practicing a bit in our small groups, would show our skits in the backyard between the garden and the house where the staff puppeteers live. We would go through each act- with or without a response. Then the acts would be further developed, combined, shortened, put on hold for the next week or axed all together.</span></span></h3>

Once the gong rang and the audience was seated, I helped open the show by lowering the biggest marionette I've ever seen from the loft above so it could dive over the audience and begin a dance sequence with clouds. It took 12 people working in tandem to operate the puppet smoothly, and my job was basically what my thumb does to control the marionettes that we use at Black Cherry Puppet Theater- I helped steady the head and make her movements more dramatic.<br />

In this act- these 2D cardboard people came out garbling and hooting in a wild mess- dancing forward to see the man born from the Earth Momma. Various representatives came forth from the crowd preaching about agrarian theology, injustices committed against the earth, and respect for all kind. The other characters echoed back what each representative said in a silly chatter and danced from side to side.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following this act was the University of Hands and Feet, where we learned basic skills such as caring for one another, the benefits of digging in the dirt, and raising hands against the existing order of life. We learned to walk carrying our body and soul, and to kick the ass of government. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then everyone moved to put on jackets and ties, grabbed weapons that had been lain around the stage and raised them in unison for next act: The Epic Battle of Good and Evil. The battle was entirely in slow motion and we silently killed each other off until we were all dead on the ground, and operatic singers advanced through the bodies- joining us on the dirt floor. Peter gave his Fiddle Sermon of the folly of our times, calling us to rise up to the potential of a new understanding. We finished with several verses of <i>The Diggers Song</i>.</span><br />

The Everything and Everywhere Dance Circus</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">was the name of the Sunday Circuses that we performed each week. At Bread and Puppet, a dance can be a very abstract thing. I was in a variety of acts that included being one of many drones that couldn't find a single sheep, running around cawing and imitating a bird in the landscape before wind turbines, gently rocking back and forth a large piece of reinforced cardboard painted to look like grain while following a massive group of lions singing Italian opera, waving tree branches in the air and rhythmically imitating sawing, tossing, and gathering them- then breaking them and lying in childs pose while waiting for a group of ugly monsters to stop promoting politicians so that I could reveal ficticious statistics about deforestation, and a spasmodic dance of thrashing and rolling on the ground to imitate someone attempting to sleep while being surrounded by windmills. Each week people from the community would arrive to participate in the different acts. I really enjoyed teaching people the acts that in which I was involved, and also found myself doing a lot of stage managing- which is a role that I'm very comfortable with due to experiences working at Black Cherry managing kids in theater production.</span></span></h3>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favorite part of each week was when Peter got up on to the circus bus in order to get into his really tall stilts for the Circus finale. I think that seeing him was an amazing site because of how physically strong he is and how much fun he's always having. We worked pretty hard to get the acts together, but it was often that things would be changed. They could be changed, combined or cut all together at any point up to the performance- so things were always morphing. Peter had met with us at the beginning of each week to discuss the circus an pageant- what worked, what didn't work... and his idea was that he wanted total chaos. Most of his complaints were that it was too fluid. He wanted more acts- toppling over one another- interrupting eachother... Everything had to be shortened and changed, and new acts were made and incorporated each week.</span></div>

By the end, it became a Casualty Act- which is something that happens in every circus, every year since the war in Afghanistan started in 2001. It began with the sheep slowly descending down the slope of the circus field amphitheater during the preceding act. As the sheep enter </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">into the circus ring, t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0000ee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">he lions entered at the same time from behind the bus and the grain followed. The 2-person foreground lions were slowly moving to an Italian Opera sung by walking lions behind them. Following the lions are the grain- a wall of yellow grain painted on large sheets of cardboard that slowly rocked back and forth. The grain moved to center stage and continued rocking in time, until a chime sounded. The grain parted and someone walked forward with a sign showing the current casualty numbers of Afghan Civilians and Coalition Troops in Operation Enduring Freedom as wheat with faces rise in the background. The chime sounds again, and the sign disappears- the wheat closes and rocks, then slowly leaves the stage as the lions and sheep mix with one another and head backstage. In addition to acting in our last performance, I was the stage manager for the grain- </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I repaired puppets, updated the casualty sign, and trained community volunteers the act so they could participate.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year's Pageant took place on the beautiful rolling hills to the north of the circus field. The intent was to catch the glowing light of the late afternoon sun. Each crest of a hill became it's own stage where activities would happen. Each group was its own set of actions and there were pauses in action so the audience could shift their focus to other areas. Groups would join up with one another and then there was one final group action. In contrast to the circus that came just before, the Pageant was mostly very slow with predominantly black, white, and grey tones.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">I played a snare drum for the first set of Fallers. In the photo, we are walking up the hill in the back toward where we had stashed all of the puppets we would be using. Both groups of Fallers had the same action sequence- following an angel character and moving slowly with ritualized movements of raising their hands at random intervals. They walked to the slow sound of an accordion which in our group was played by my friend Fraea- until she chose to make an audio cue for them to fall to the field. I chimed for the angel to move in circles around them and rolled the snare for them to stand up and continue.<br />

I was helping with the horse and riders- adding and subtracting riders as the horse paced back and forth between trees that were always changing sides. The trees would move, then the horse would follow in it's turn but always behind the fence- it would call to it's filly that was free trotting around outside of the fence. We would occasionally put all the cardboard puppets down and walk to the fence ourselves- holding the bars like prisoners, rocking the fence back and forth, and groaning hopelessly. Before the Holy Nobody family joined us- we had advanced down the hillside nearby and set all the cardboard puppets and the fence down. We called to them and prostrated ourselves, chanting and bowing. When they came and join us, we all stood and walked off together -at which point we were out of audience view and moved to the far back of the field and began rolling heads slowly across the hillsides.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the main things I did in this show was to be what Peter called a string puller. My role was in manipulating the huge paper mache Bystanders that stood suspended from the ceiling by a rope and pulley rig. To Peter, even the act of pulling the rope became a performance to be included in the show. Although it was extremely light weight, I responded like I was moving sails on a ship in slow motion as the puppet would lean and rock forward and to the sides- finally lying down on the dirt floor of the theater- all the while dictating or responding to the movements of the actors. Our first show was okay, I think- we really did better in our rehearsals but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to explore this idea that Peter had. Several of the company members said that its a pretty rare opportunity to be along on the ride of Peter's creative process. For these shows, he usually knows exactly what it will be before any of us would be involved. It is bound to be a very intense piece and I would love to know how it ends up getting crafted from this point with the new group of interns. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"></span></div>

The Pine Forest has been used as a performance space over the years for many pageants, but through the 50 years of Bead and Puppet- it has become a place to remember all of those who have been part of the community over time. Through spending time in each of the shrines, I felt I had gotten an intimate look at the lives and contributions of many interesting people. The gravity of the space was humbling.</span></span></span></i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before I left for an apprenticeship at Bread and Puppet in Vermont, I sent work to be included in another group project created by Andrew Liang and Michael Benevento. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each year since I've lived in Baltimore, Andrew and Mike come up with games or other large group projects that include many of our friends for art and production help. Years in the past- I was involved with </span><a href="http://www.nocommercialvalue.org/content/week16/box4/foosball.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Human Foosball</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.lisakrause.blogspot.com/2010/05/ball-movement-ii-mole-balls.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ball Movement II: Mole Balls</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.lisakrause.blogspot.com/search/label/Andrew%20Liang"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">CART</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I'm sorry I missed the event, but Eamon Espey has graciously offered to write a scene report, and I'll add that in here when he's back from his trip to Upstate NY- where he's on the crew helping to build an Earthship until September.</span><br />

The Black Cherry Puppet Theater’s puppets collaborate with musicians in a study of loss, remorse and redemption. Marionettes, hand puppets and shadows take a delightful dance through folklore, mythos, music and death in a visual telling of an old story. The audience follows the hero first through green verdant gardens as they grow seedy, weedy, until he finds himself in an urban wasteland watched by a darker side. He relives memories of one true love and how he lost it. He decides he loves what he no longer has and goes to get back what he never wanted, but now sees as his. Meanwhile, the woman isn’t quite what he thought he thought she was. This is the story of a man’s journey as he discovers he never knew what he had until it was gone. When he gets it back, does he really want it after all?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As part of <a href="http://questfest.org/">Quest Fest 2012,</a> an annual international visual theater festival in Baltimore, we at <a href="http://www.blackcherry.org/">Black Cherry Puppet Theater</a> did a community arts residencies in collaboration with the <a href="http://www.creativealliance.org/">Creative Alliance</a>'s Open Minds after school arts programs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I worked with a group of high schoolers at a local library.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used the Lakota ghost story <i>"The Man Who Was Afraid of Nothing"</i> as inspiration for our puppet show. We read the story and discussed its origin, themes, and relevance to our culture today. The students designed the set and puppets for the show, and we collaborated on expressing the story through wordless-choreography set to music, which helped our show be accessible to the broadest audience possible.<br />

Eamon released his latest self-published minicomic: <i>Ishi's Brain</i> in mid 2011<i>.</i> I really liked the way the main character looked and starting making him as a marionette. <img alt="Add Image" border="0" class="gl_photo" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" /></div>

I've been going about making him in a really unconventional way. Instead of making him and then painting him, I've been painting as I go. So far, just the head and torso are done. I think it's just because I'm really excited to see him done!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't usually post personal stories on this blog because I reserve it for artwork that I have done or important projects with which I've taken part. But, that being said- I would like to share a meaningful ritual that I experienced this past winter season.</span><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HN2oHJOZ1LM/UBqPd8w4QtI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/OPjjomYxA4w/s1600/IMG_4802.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HN2oHJOZ1LM/UBqPd8w4QtI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/OPjjomYxA4w/s320/IMG_4802.jpg" width="240" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The ritual we experienced was a candle lighting ceremony that took place at the house of close family friends with whom Mom, Eamon and I chose to spend the holiday instead of our family. In their dining room was an assortment of five large, white winter candles that spanned the length of the table. After the meal was ready, and before we sat to eat- the grandmother of the family introduced the ritual. It involved reading a passage and while lighting each candle- representing stages of grief and remembrance for loved ones that have died. It was particularly powerful this year because Eamon and I experienced the sudden death of an important person in our lives- and also for my Mom, because she always misses her parents particularly in December, but also because there have been some issues in our extended family that have been really awful to deal with this year. The ritual reminded us of the importance of the season in reflecting on those people that truly matter to us and keeping their memories close in our mind.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HN2oHJOZ1LM/UBqPd8w4QtI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/OPjjomYxA4w/s1600/IMG_4802.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HN2oHJOZ1LM/UBqPd8w4QtI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/OPjjomYxA4w/s1600/IMG_4802.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have all been looking for different ways to celebrate the seasons, and this one seems to be appropriate for the season of death and rebirth. One way or another, we will be incorporating into our own non-religious observance from now on. In the future, I look forward to working with my Mom on creating a fresh pine centerpiece for the ritual because of how much she enjoys arranging flowers with cut pine in winter. She arranges flowers professionally, so I'm sure it will be beautiful. This new tradition will be a meaningful addition to the way she already decorates each year with so many greens, pinecones, and candles- as well as an homage to the winter decorations she made in the past from the forest where I grew up. She also had gone to the forest to make decorations from the pine cuttings for both of my grandparents graves for their December birthdays before she moved</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This ritual emphasized how coming years will be better for those of us who choose to be together. Especially because we won't be wasting the time we have left with those we love on people that aren't good for us.</span></div>

After waking up at Brittany's house in Chicago to a beautiful light snowfall, we found this little friend on a window ledge of a store.</div>

I suddenly remembered the last time I went there.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was 2008, I was led by two little boys that I knew from the art program that I was teaching that summer in the neighborhood. One was nearly mute when I met him. At the point we were at that day- he was the bold leader while his older cousin was scared and decided to meet up with us later. I walked into the woods with the then 8 year-old boy, listening to him talk about his father.</div><div><br /></div><div>He led me through the woods for quite a while to the spot where his father's body was dumped after he was shot earlier that year. His father was 3 years younger than me. His body was severely decomposed and had to be DNA tested to determine his identity. This was a huge confusing concept for the boys. They'd grown obsessed with watching the dead rats in the neighborhood rot away in the alleys. I assume it functioned as part of a folk-science that happens in childhood, when you need an explanation for abstract or terrifying things. They asked me many questions that summer, and their voices still haunt me sometimes.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>I also remembered that the boy's father's body was found by a man walking dogs, and it reminded me that I am not so safe in the woods here. I remember that day and how much fun I had with those boys after we left the site- climbing trees, hiking around, and throwing rocks in the stream. I remember how one of the boys asked me if I was remembering my childhood, and how hard I hoped that day that they were forgetting their adulthood.</div><div><br /></div><div>At the end of that summer I did an installation about what it was like to be with them in those months. It was my first shrine and I called it <a href="http://lisakrause.blogspot.com/2009/07/prayer-for-innocence.html">Prayer for Innocence</a>. I no longer have it, but I guess being back in the woods in that area brought all the memories back to me clearly. I needed to put them somewhere so I made this one.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've seen the little boy a few times in passing over the years since moving away, and he's gradually forgotten me. His stare is cold, and his look is hard. I am scared for him.</div>Lisa Krausehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11721214713357008345noreply@blogger.com0
