Red V Blue - Tyrrendarra Style

Took the Unicycle puppets town the coast to the Tyrendarra Show the other weekend (The centenary edition of the Tyrendarra Show no less! Thats pretty impressive).
 
Thanks to Adam Demmert for the photos (And all the help keeping it running over the course of the day).

And of course the inevitable hip, shoulder and buttock replacement. This is like the smash up derby of puppet shows.

Even Had a bit of time to streamline the set up a bit. Swapping out the ramps for some hyper-active  suspension in the unicycles.

Balance Pt5 - 2016 Tour - Video Taster

Finally had a chance to sit down and edit together a clip from the 2016 Balance Tour.

Just in the process of dusting it all off again to see if it can be used as a educational tool/toy for kids to work through some ideas about renewable energy managing the supply and demand in a small town over the course of a day. Should be a good experiment.

Thanks again to Regional Arts Victoria for including Balances as part of their touring program and the Australian Children's Theatre Foundation for supporting me to make the show in the first place.
