The trip to Milan was a big success according to the organisers and it was great to see
that nearly 300 people turned up to see my Punch and Judy Show as a ticketed event. Always a bit of challenge when the audience
don't speak the same language but the basic nonsense of Punch doesn't really need translation. There is talk
of a return visit for a street festival in May....
On the 28/29 I will be with my giant puppet Brother Sid at Ludlow Medieval Christmas Fayre

Clive has just returned from a trip overseas with Mr Punch. He performed at a festival in the
town of Banska Bystrica in Slovakia alongside other well known puppeteers from across Europe. After that he visited
the Ciroka Theatre company in Kecskemet, Hungary, where he has good connections and then went down to Croatia where his giant
puppets danced around in Istria. Soon he will be performing with his street theatre act - the Rickshaw at the Skipton
Puppet Festival, England. His next overseas trip will be to a festival in Milan at the start of November.
Spring 2009 Clive
Chandler is working on Dynamics 09 - the biggest puppet festival in England. Thanks to a substantial
grant of nearly £70,000 from Arts Council England to PuppetLink, it will be possible to continue the success of the
two previous festivals in 2005 and 2007 which Clive also worked on. Performances and other activities will take place across
the West Midlands in May, June and July. To visit the dynamics website click (here) He is looking forward to working
in Spring 09 with Hanyong Theatre Company, delivering a puppet workshop programme in a Birmingham school
in association with PuppetLink alongside Lee Deong Gyu from South Korea.
Clive has been working with Language Alive in Birmingham to help them with the puppetry
side of their latest programme for primary schools - Into The Garden. This is currently touring schools
with great success. To visit the Language Alive website click (here)
