Current Highlights
Sandglass is building a mobile puppet theater thanks to the incredible support of the Canaday Family Charitable Trust. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes updates as we bring this exciting project to life.
The road ahead may be bumpy and rough, but this project assures us that it is also full of creativity, craftsmanship, and, of course, puppets!
Artistic Statement
In the microcosm of theater, the puppet is a means of integrating, of pulling back together pieces torn apart from each other. The puppet is the embodiment of a world no longer ours, an abstraction of a memory, a dream which is recalled. It is other than us, but it lives through us. We grasp it, and in grasping it, it takes hold of us.
In dancing with the puppet, we are dancing with our more secret side. We are integrating parts of ourselves.
- Eric Bass, Sandglass Theater Founder
