THE
CASHORE MARIONETTES
are unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement. The
internationally acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry.
The moving and humorous performances have astounded audiences in Europe, the
Far East and across North America including stops at the Kennedy Center,
Annenberg Center, Kravis Center, and many others.
 The
program, Simple Gifts, is a series of touching portrayals and poignant scenes
from everyday life set to stunning music by such composers as Vivaldi,
Strauss, Beethoven and Copland. The original vignettes presented in Simple
Gifts, through a combination of virtuoso manipulation, beautiful music,
theatrical illusion, and artistic insight, provide a sensitive vision of what
it is to be human. The
performance spans the range of emotions with characters and actions that are
amazingly convincing. The marionettes are engineering marvels and the quality
of movement is extraordinary.
Joseph
Cashore has received numerous awards for his artistry including a Pew
Fellowship for Performance Art, based upon his artistic accomplishment; a
Henson Foundation Grant, an award intended to help promote puppetry to adult
audiences; and a Citation of Excellence from the UNIMA-USA, the highest honor
an American puppeteer can receive. The Cashore Marionettes are so well
conceived and projected, the movement so convincing, the illusion so powerful,
that the result is a compelling, unforgettable theatrical experience.
Lecture/demonstrations,
workshops, and masterclasses are available to high school and college
students, teachers, and arts professionals.
