Body Concert
Description:
Created and performed by Kevin Augustine
Uccompanied by an electroacoustic score, Kevin Augustine animates his puppet cast of oversized body limbs with his hands and feet in a rigorous solo choreography. Revealing the quiet beauty of our shared human journey, BODY CONCERT is a wordless meditation on life's beautiful impermanence.
Kevin Augustine: Forever inspired by a hand-stitched sock puppet given by his grandmother, Kevin's life’s work rests on discovering he too could make his own toys. Forming Lone Wolf Tribe in 1997, his mission remains: create intelligent, intimate and highly physical puppet theatre about our collective human story. As the eponymous lone wolf of his puppet tribe, he is writer/director/performer and self-taught puppet maker-- fashioning his foam friends from repurposed couch cushions.
