Manual Cinema in “Chicago’s Weird, Grandma” on October 28
Posted by Julia on October 21, 2013
October 28 is the first of six “Chicago’s Weird, Grandma” performances, and our guest company will be Manual Cinema!
(They clearly have great taste in hats.)
Manual Cinema is a collaboration between puppeteers/graphic artists Julia Miller, Drew Dir and Sarah Fornace, with musician/composers Kyle Vegter and Ben Kauffman. Their process combines handmade shadow puppetry, cinematic motifs, and live sound manipulation to create immersive theatrical stories. Their tools are paper, acetate, ink, light, air pressure, and overhead projectors. They love dreamscapes, landscapes, sound-scapes, feet, hands, space, small delicate sounds, and animating the inanimate.
Manual Cinema will be adapting “Hair Fear!!!!!” by Sheriff N., from Dixon Elementary.
