This March I've been helping out at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.
One of the things that I did there was I helped out with a show called "Strombolli's Medicine Show" created by Daniel Polnau.
It was a sort of weird variety show, cabaret, magic, circus, medicine show... thing.

| This is the what the stage and backdrop looked like. In the center is the cauldron that contains "the panacea to cure all the ills of humanity" |
 |
| This is Dan as Dr. Strombolli - A zany medicine man who opens the gates to the spirit world to call forth a variety of strange creatures and acts to convince the audience of the existence of magic, and to ultimately fill the cauldron. |
 |
| Here's MY part: Backstage I worked at an overhead projector with artists Kate Saturday and Olli Johnson to create kaleidoscopic projections behind the action, using colored plates and gels. |
 |
| One of the highlights of the show - an image that defies explanation. |

| We had lots of fun, that's me on the right. |
