The Poofs
nondescript puppet objects which confound reason
Appearing like massive sea creatures, the poofs present themselves in outdoor environments where people congregate.
Inspiring wonder from their visitors the poofs simple ARE. They are a cross between plants and insects, anchored to the ground and confounding an impression of rational sentience. An encounter with the poofs is an opportunity to commune with another lifeform. The Poofs are both creatures and environments. They perform liveness and impress a sense of wonder in their audience.
"How is it moving?"
With funding the poofs will grow in number from 4 to 20 and tour important public spaces of the world: Notre Dame, the Grand Canyon, Egyptian Pyramids...
The Guerilla Poofing Project is currently available to come to your community center. The project teaches a workshop on live art, poof movement, and community engagement.
Poof-The-Band is also available for appearances. They perform a performance art musical set.
PoofWorld is a full-length piece of theater in development.
