SIFTER for the Ear presents:
Puppet fun from Sesame Street to Star Wars
Andrea Detwiler has been involved with puppets since graduating from VCU. She’s worked on projects for Sesame Street, Jim Henson Studios and two new Star Wars series. In contrast, there’s a GWAR connection. We cover:
– Working at Kings Dominion with the “walkarounds”
– Starting at Sesame Street Live
– The “skins” department for Walking with Dinosaurs
– Being a wrangler for Kermit on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
– Working on Happy Time Murders
– Being a “suit performer” in Obi-Wan Kenobi
– Animatronics vs. puppets and other technology
