Other Hand Productions

Arlechino stands about three feet tall. His head is made out of papiermache and his body is slotted plywood (visualize a paperdoll.) He weighs about four pounds. To make the head smooth, I first sculpted it in clay then I made a plaster cast of it; I pressed the papiermache into the mold and did eight layers of sanding and gessoing. (gesso is a plaster-like primer used in painting)

In our Pinocchio we use marionettes, found-objects, live actors and a style of theater called Czech Black
