Tonight I went to an improv performance with one the marionette puppeteers and a couple of the musicians from new years eve night. It was a complete improv...the music feeding off of the marionette's actions and vice versa. The performance was at a market called Spitalfield Market that was closed for the night but open to passerbys. They had a number of people who stopped to watch a while and 2 girls who stayed the whole performance. This was only their 2nd night to do it and already they have promises of repeat audience members who will bring more. They said last night Tracey Ullman (the British comedian)(****correction: Tracey Emin British Artist) stopped by on her way home. Apparently she lives just around the corner. All the marionettes were made by the puppeteer. It was quite entertaing and it will be interesting to see how this grows and develops.
