Project Summary

An interactive, surreal puppet experience blending marionettes, hand puppets, and live making of art, where audiences actively shape creative choices onstage. Designed for all ages and abilities, the piece transforms performance into a shared act of imagination between puppeteers and audience. Each moment unfolds differently depending on audience participation, creating a playful, unpredictable, and immersive encounter with puppetry and devised theater.

Logline

An interactive surreal puppet experience where audiences help create the art, action, and imagination unfolding onstage.

Development History

  • Ongoing development of Imagination Strings exploring interactive puppetry and audience co-creation.

  • Velvet Stage Lab (March 23, 2026): Early workshop testing audience-triggered puppetry and world-building.

  • Kids Day Fest, Theater for the New City (May 23, 2026): Shared interactive excerpt with young audiences.

  • Iteration continues based on feedback, focusing on clarity, engagement, and participation.

Why This, Why Now

  • The work centers children as co-creators, shaping the performance through real-time participation and choice.

  • It builds community through shared imagination and collective decision-making in a live space.

  • It prioritizes in-person, embodied creativity over passive viewing.

  • It gives young audiences real agency, showing their ideas have immediate impact.

  • It uses reclaimed materials, turning waste into art and modeling creative sustainability.

FOR PRESENTERS

A flexible, touring-friendly interactive performance for theaters, schools, and festivals. Imagination Strings invites your audience to become co-creators of a living marionette world, transforming reclaimed materials into a creative choice universe.
