Dear Studios Midwest Reader,

A big THANK YOU to Heather for updating the blog information!
SARAH FRECHETTE -- PUPPETKABOB
I attended Studios Midwest back in the summer of 2002. I had fun living with photographer extraordinaire & now life long friend Mark Dungan! Mark and I were adopted by Ralph and Sally -- we called them "Mom & Dad". I must say I miss the pepperoni and green olive pizza!
That summer was a bumpy ride for me -- filled with beautiful landscapes and a big pot hole.
A month ago I moved from NYC to Portland, OR. West coast baby! Since the summer of 2002 I toured with Phillip Huber (Being John Malcovick) as part of a marionette rock opera, for which I made the puppets costumes. And I have studied many times in Germany with 84 year old Puppet Master Albrecht Roser discussing his theories on Zen and puppetry. I have performed with my own marionette creations in USA, Germany and China.
If I think about the list of crazy skills I now have -- I owe quite a few to Galesburg. I learned how to stilt walk in Bill and Lisa's front yard -- wicked awesome! Carolina helped me sew a wonderful stilt walking costume so I could walk at Art in the Park. I paid Tom Lytle 10 cents to help me weld metal peacock feathers in his backyard studio under a heat waves of 110 degrees. These moments I cherish and my stilts & feathers I treasure.

Sunshine & Memories, Sarah

Sarah, Your puppets are so beautiful. I still remember your performance in the Knox theater and we enjoy having the "art tile" you made for the Galesburg Welcome Center with the puppeteer's hands.
It looks like you're having great fun with your art. Kudos!
