"And with such an extensive background in the beginnings of modern Australian puppetry, there are few of the ‘older generation’ of puppeteers he’s worked with." Typo? Did you perhaps mean 'Few... he hasn't worked with'? Richard has worked with so many performers over the years. He reinvigorated and reinvented the Australian Marionette Theatre and trained many performers there. He directed the first production of 'Tyrannosaurus sex' for Puppetvision. He continues to offer performance and construction advice to a number of puppeteers, particularly those exploring shadows. And he has an encyclopedic knowledge of world puppetry. Thanks for a neat article.
