Winter is still here, but spring is starting very very very slowly, so does also the work at this years PPS. Let’s see what this year will bring…

Thought this Blog needs Entertainment…

EF15 - Operation Desert Snow

The Department Of Pawpetry Entertainment returns to EuroFurence for it’s 10th anniversary this year.

We have worked hard to create a play for you that captures the spirit of 1001 arabic nights, the official convention theme for EuroFurence 15.

During the convention you will also find various presentations about the show, explaining how we work backstage and how we archieved some of the special effects.

Come and join us for an evening full of exotic adventures.

Hey Lionel,

look out, they are still after you!

Last weekend saw a very exhausted team of puppeteers, audio and light technicians, stagehands and dogs finish the 3rd PawPet Show rehearsal at something like 2am in the morning.

So far, it’s all looking good. Cheetah and Eisfuchs finished the “Ending Song” for this years play, and, once again, it turned out pretty epic. Bring tissues! And that’s all I’m gonna reveal about it.

The next, and final, rehearsal will be the dress rehearsal at Eurofurence. Keeping in tradition, this one should start far too late and then fail quite horribly, hehe.

Exactly 2 weeks from now I’ll be sitting in a plane to Frankfurt, and then will be en route to EF!

Oh, and if you just can’t get enough of pawpets: Right after EF, the ConFuzzled team will start planning for the ConFuzzled 2010 PawPet Show again! (No break for me!)

And again we’re back from a very productive weekend, filled with puppetry and Jaegermeister.

Rehearsal took a long time, with us beeing forced encouraged by our dictator director to repeat almost every scene at least twice.

The result’s quite impressive, tho, and I am looking forward to the show at Eurofurence 15!

There’s also quite a lot planned in terms of pawpetry for this EF, seeing as it’s our 10th anniversary… but I cannot speak of that, yet, lest they punish me severely for telling.

Well, the first rehearsal weekend is over and i am still tired (though it’s monday evening). Lots of things to memorize, places where the puppets have to be and so on. It’s also a little complicated as we have a fresh start, that means no props to interact with. There is still a lot of work ahead us.

Greetings,

Four days left for us before we gather for our first show rehearsal. This year is special for me as it is the tenth anniversary for the LSD Show. Imagine that: 10 years pawpetry (I am still not sure why i am doing that *grin*). Currently i am working on two additional things for EF. As it will be some sort of surprise i am not going to talk much about, but be sure you will like it.

It seems the pawpet season is starting again!

After a rather long hiatus,  furry puppetry has finally re-emerged from the depths of winter lazyness.

In just a few days, on the 23rd of May, during Confuzzled, the team of PawPets UK will perform their very first puppet play. I am not entirely sure if I am at liberty to reveal the name of the production, but I am quite sure I am not giving away too much when I say that it will be about the good old values of british victorian theatrics.

And later this year, during Eurofurence, there’ll be another LSD show coming up. This year, it’ll be the 10th anniversary of the show, if you include the very first one at Eurofurence 6.

Looking across the big ocean, I also received word that more and more people are planning to move from the traditional US puppetry concept of “Free For All” in favour of a more story- and plot-driven show. I must say, I am really looking forward to hearing and seeing more of that.

So, keep your ears perked and your eyes wide open, for this will be a quite pawpetastic year 2009!

Just in case you’ve been wondering what the hell is wrong with this site…..

a) People are in hiatus. I guess it’s all about the winter depressions and such. Hopefully we’ll be able to yank ourselves out of it again in time for the next show. 1001 Arabian Nights… darn.. I was hoping more for 1001 Arabian Knights, and they’re all MINE! Heheee..

b) We’re currently on vacation. Believe it or not, there’s a company whose specialty seems to be to make puppets wet. Welcome to The Pink Paw Pet Spa !
