Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers Mid-Program Showing

[Ash Winkfield]

Hello Boston Puppeteers! 

We are halfway through the 2026 Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers (already!) and we are so very excited to share what the cohort has been working on! We have our virtual Mid-Program Showing this Sunday at 6:30pm. We would love to invite you to take a peek behind the curtain and inside the creative process of these artists! You can register here. 

We will hear from five talented artists about the works-in-progress they’ve been building during Puppet Showplace’s Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers, a six-month Zoom-based residency that connects creators from across the country to build community and support during the development of new works! From animatronics to multiplane to musical numbers about bacteria, this cohort is exploring a wide breadth of interests and techniques! The 2026 cohort will discuss their work, process, challenges, and discoveries at this midpoint sharing on Zoom, hosted by the program’s Community Curator Tanya Nixon-Silberg, Project Mentor, Marcella Murray, and Residency Coordinator Ash Winkfield.

We hope you'll join us to meet these incredible artists!

Yours,

Ash
