 Tarish Pipkins is a puppeteer from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He's a builder and performer, and this past year got the Henson Foundation grant for a second installment of his puppet show called 5P1Nok10, pronounced Spinocchio (his riff on the Pinocchio tale), about an android that wants to be a real b-boy. He's created a style of puppetry that's a cross between rod and marionette. This is our final Contemporary Puppetry Workshop led by national POC puppeteers for the year. The MRAC Arts Learning Grant funded it and I hope we can get it again to bring artists next year!

?m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that?s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
