How can you not love the “little” girl and elephant? Thank you to Wendy Ewald (New York) for sending me to ArtAngel (London) that led to The Sultan’s Elephant (London) that led to Hilary Talbot (Australia) blog. Ms. Talbot tracks puppets and techniques. Mixed site, but some real winners.
Royal de Luxe puppet company performed in London in May 2006. Just fabulous.

Dear Glenn,
A slight amendment to London’s Sultan’s Elephant event of 2006. Helen Marriage, an extraordinary cultural organizer, of Artichoke Ltd (www.artichokeproductions.co.uk) was the lead producer in collaboration with Artangel.
