In the forum, members of the Brooklyn-based Boxcutter Collective—UConn Puppet Arts alumnus Joe Therrien, Sam Wilson, Tom Cunningham, Darkin Brown, and Ali Dineen—will discuss how they survive as working puppeteers, their various productions for live theater, film, puppet slams, and puppet workshops, as well as their side gigs. This event is co-sponsored by the UConn Puppet Arts Program and the UConn Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute.
Admission to this event is free (donations greatly appreciated!), and refreshments will be served. This forum will also be broadcast via Ballard Institute Facebook Live (facebook.com/BallardInstitute). Learn more: https://bimp.uconn.edu/2024/04/02/boxcutter-forum/
