Alice Nelson – How I Became Invisible by Shawna Reiter and Kyla Read – CLUNK Puppet Lab/ Festival: Puppet Up! Festival/ City: Almonte, Ontario/ August 2012
I joined CLUNK Puppet Lab as a puppeteer for their show How I Became Invisible. My main puppet to operate was Fred, a 10 year old tomboy….and the lead narrator. As a rookie puppeteer, I was faced with many challenges. Through laughter, tears and moments of failure, Fred and I began to breathe together. That instant, when you fuse with a puppet, is magic. Fred was the role of a lifetime.
