The Huber Marionettes 
Present
 
Behind
The
Strings
 

This entertaining lecture was created to give the public a better understanding and awareness of puppetry, in particular, the lost artistry of marionettes.  During this presentation, Phillip will show all aspects of his creative process. The opening video delivers a montage sampling of his unique characters. An Optional 3 vignette performance can be included if this lecture is not combined with the show "Suspended Animation". Following is a segment entitled "Making of a Star" which covers the design, construction, costuming, and rehearsal process leading to the development of his portrait puppet "Nicole" (inspired by Natalie Cole). This is all narrated live by Phillip Huber. Questions and answers are welcomed as Phillip reveals "the tricks of the trade" in a live demonstration of several marionettes. A short picture-taking session is always available at the close of the lecture. The running time for this presentation is approximately 1 hour.
