What happens when an artist reckons with their power to stop the world? How long can two shapeshifters chase a shared illusion? What truly matters in the revolution of one year?
“Three Told from a Passing Place” is an offering of three new folk tales for fellow siblings of the in-between. It is a spell-casting to care for our immediate future-selves to keep growing as we break things down. It is a summoning and celebration of our mythologized bodies and lives.
Will you come and sit a while with this solo shadow puppet show by Maisie Goodnight, told through overhead projector, crankie theater, cello, and song?
————
Maisie Goodnight is a Philadelphia-based puppeteer making new folk tales for metamorphosis and the in-between, with their shadow play simmering together hand-cut paper, overhead projector, crankie theater, song, and cello. They are also an art teacher and puppetry gathering organizer working to make puppetry more connected and accessible in Philadelphia.
Their educational work and event co-coordination has been supported by their peers and mentors as well as the Bartol Foundation, the Puppet Slam Network, and the Center for Cultural Vibrancy. In their running-around-and-performing-shoes, Maisie has recently had the joy of casting their shadows with slam communities including Nasty Brutish and Short, A Rafter of Crankies, the Philly Puppet Slam!, and Blood from a Turnip.
They often teach puppetry, parade, and toy-making in partnership with Spiral Q, Asian Arts Initiative, Temple University, and Haverford College, with a focus on disrupting our day to day with play and self expression, and calling us in to our intersections for feeding our collective liberation.
