INTO THE WEDDELL SEA
I puppeteered a singing mermaid, a giant man-eating glacier, and an array of shadow puppets at the Summer 2022 Chicago International Puppet Lab Showcase. “Into the Weddell Sea” is a family-friendly adaptation of Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition to the South Pole highlighting the qualities needed to be a good explorer and how positivity and perseverance can conquer any wild situation.
