Today was the first intensive day of devising for Pupi Part II. An adult puppet show stemming from my research project in Sicily.
I worked in collaboration with performer Suzy Gunn and Media Practitioner Tom Walsh to develop the script and key action for a scene which takes the form of a spoof dog show.
Suzy will take on the role of a hologram presenter, introducing the various dogs and breeds. I will be the live puppeteer in the role of dog handler. Tom will be creating a series of spoof commercials to interject the action.

The smallest in our toy breed category, so small it was nicknamed the Spider dog. This pocket sized pooch can be carried anywhere and would suit the more discreet dog owner, the ultimate in pooch portability. Highly economical due to its tiny appetite and low maintenance day to day needs 1m walk per day. The breed is clearly defined by its excitable nature and likes to share its joy for others.
Lovely.
The Petit Arachnia
The height of disposability, Polly with a coat that has been bred to contain a polyurethane compound for easy clean and low maintenance health care. With a glossy shine to its coat, a pert tail and a keen nose this is a very beautiful dog indeed. Elegant in her stance and stature and walking with grace and poise she is a sight to behold.
Thank you

Finally, our most stunning dog yet, culminating from years of research and development in dog breeding fashion style and ingenuity. Bred without skin, this tasty example would suit lovers of the canine physique, with its fine muscular structure it is a treat for dog coinsures everywhere. But make sure to keep it moist at all times to avoid any dehydration and desiccation, also please note it must wear a muzzle at all times to avoid the tasty chappy gnawing on its own paws.
Excellent : Ladies and gentlemen the The Skinner
