Liz Oakley

This performative installation is a tiny festival within the festival experimenting in seeing locations not as what they are, but as what they could be. A series of miniature site-specific puppet shows will take place on found "stages,"or scraps of overlooked urban infrastructure. Fire hydrants, milaboxes, ledges, and lampposts will be transformed into performance spaces for small puppet performers. It's a festival that can happen anywhere, because there are stages everywhere!
