PUPPET BLOK features new works of puppetry, animation,
music, and other innovative styles of performance by emerging and established
artists from the NYC area. Branching out of Dixon Place's own mission
statement to focus on experimental works, PUPPET BLOK provides an all-encompassing
venue for alternative modes of storytelling.

UNEARTHED is an object theatre piece about a photographer
who attempts to capture the soul of his beloved in the heart of his
camera. UNEARTHED combines projected film and hundreds of cut
up photographs in a small Victorian cabinet.

Finding your way back
By Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith
A ritual
exploration of twins in a labyrinth using movement and sound.
Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith is a Brooklyn based performer. Lindsay began her study of puppetry with Alain Recoing in Paris and neutral mask with Dody DiSanto in Washington, DC. Lindsay's most recent puppeteering credits include David Michael Friend's Ego at the HERE Art's Center, Mabou Mines' Peter and Wendy at Arena Stage, Drama of Work's Warhol at the Puppeteers of America conference in St. Paul, and short works of her own (which are very much still being born) as part of the Voice 4 Visions Festival and the Carnival of Samhain. When not puppeting, Lindsay keeps her hands busy with massage therapy and playing in the dirt.
