Traditionally, puppetry conjures up images of marionettes and Punch and Judy shows.
But while the more conventional forms of the art are still embraced and developed world-wide, the visions festival in Brighton has begun to curate more contemporary performances involving puppetry, further developed under the direction of visions Artistic and Executive Director, Linda Lewis.
‘What we are trying to do is to bring the performer much more into the picture to become an integral part of the show,’ Lewis explains.
