A Community Performance Project

Join the Body Narratives Collective (Julia Carr and Meghan Goodman) along with Lost & Found Puppet Co. (Maggie Winston) this spring for the creation of a unique site-specific performance experience that will animate the Kensington Community Centre in an open house celebration!

Whether you perform or participate as an audience member, together we will discover what makes a healthy habitat. We will explore this idea by playing with puppets, creating dances, and decorating our spaces. Let us deepen our roots and enhance the ecology of our community.

Final Performance Date June 3, 2012 at Kensington Community Centre. 33rd Avenue @ Knight St. Vancouver

The Shiny Kids Family Festival is a one-day annual event taking place on May 5, 2012 at the Moberly Community Arts Centre. The festival will feature a stage show, puppets, music and dance. There is an interactive Eco-Maze, a costume parade, face painting and storytelling. The Festival is a collaboration of The Shiny Collective (local award winning children’s entertainers; Gogo Bonkers, The Lost & Found Puppet Company, The Ta-Daa Lady and Juno award winning Peter Puffin ) in partnership with the Moberly Community Arts Centre. The Shiny Kids Family Festival live stage performances feature participation songs, costumed characters, dancing and puppets that tell a very important story about the ocean, environment, community and helping each other. Children and Parents will be welcomed into this magical world surrounded by fantastical characters to learn about the importance of protecting the ocean, how garbage affects everyone, how rewarding it is to eat healthy and locally and how planting seeds will provide what we need to better our lives.

TITLE: "Remembering Light"- A collection of memories on the theme of light. This shadow play was created by the Lost & Found Puppet Co. (with puppet artist Maggie Winston) in collaboration with Cantonese speaking seniors from the Arts, Health, and Seniors program at Strathcona Community Centre. The seniors were asked to share some memories from their childhood in China that reminded them of light in some form or another. Out of this sharing came four distinct memories. One of these memories show the difficulties of life in China when not many resources were available to them, while another describes what it is like to see things brighter after having cataract surgery. In the end all the seniors have come to appreciate the electric light bulb for the safety and comfort it brings to their lives today.

Comissioned by BC Hydro for PowerSmart Light Bulbs

The newest production by Lost & Found Puppet Co., a result of a residency at Deer Crossing.

“Lost in the forest, a chance encounter with a Dandelion turns one man’s world upside down. As he tries to find his way back to civilization, a cast of wild herbs changes his outlook on life. Hogweed, Blackberry, and Kinnikinnick all feature in this modern fairytale. While exploring the folklore and flora of the Pacific Coast forests, he learns that magic is real and begins to find himself again.”

The story explores the plant conflict between native and invasive species. A human character who is threatening to develop the forest is thrown into the conflict too.
