I was lucky enough to take a workshop with shadow puppet artist Gabriel von Fernandez when I was in Argentina back in November. Based in Buenos Aires, Gabriel performs his own shadow puppet shows and teaches workshops to artists at all levels. Here is a page from my journal about my experience working with him.
We’re heading into a new year, with new projects and adventures on the horizon. Thank you for reading our blog this year, for coming to our shows, for commenting on Facebook or Twitter and cheering us on. The audience is an essential part of any performance work and we value every single one of you, either online or in real life. We hope to see you again soon!

This blog is going on (partial) hiatus for the next few months while artistic director Cecilia Cackley travels in South America and attends several puppetry festivals. While she is away, Cecilia is keeping a visual journal of her trip and will occasionally be posting pages. Here is a little map of where she is going:
