giant monkey

And now for something completely different.

My latest part time job is assistant teaching a circus class at a New Haven arts magnet high school. I had the pleasure of helping a dozen students design and build this amazing monkey puppet, which included rolling, detachable eyeballs.


Then we got to take it onto the streets of New Haven to harass passers-by. It was a thrill to see young people get excited about puppetry.



The monkey will make another appearance at the Edge Festival on Audubon Street on June 7th.
