The hive has been abuzz of late with the frantic, final push to get all the puppets ready for FestiFools 2009. And know this: The April 5 street party will definitely happen — RAIN OR SHINE. So be there, A-squared!
Don’t miss FestiFools 2009!
Sunday, April 5, 2009
4:00–5:00pm (sharp!)
Downtown Ann Arbor (Main St., between Washington and William)
Complete info at festifools.org
FestiFools still needs more volunteers for the day of the event — puppet wranglers, crowd control, merry-makers, and “roadies.” For more information on how you can help out, see FestiFools: Volunteer at the Event and/or email startproject@umich.edu.
I’ve been snooping around the studio over the last several weeks with my camera in tow. It’s my pleasure and privilege to document the massive “behind-the-scenes” effort that goes into creating this 1-hour spectacle. Except as otherwise indicated, the puppet makers captured in these photos are U-M students in Mark Tucker’s Art in Public Spaces course.
