The Puppetry of Dan Luce at Whitman College

In October 2017, I was invited to present an exhibit of my puppetry by Whitman College's Sheehan Gallery. In addition to the exhibit, I also gave a talk about my artistic journey, and facilitated a marionette-making workshop.
On all fronts, I was met with an incredible outpouring of appreciation, from children with sparkles in their eyes to older men with tears in their eyes. The exhibit was so successful that it was extended for a total run of nearly three months, and the talk and workshop were both attended beyond capacity! 
It was a profound honor and a pleasure to bring my work back to the land of my childhood and to connect or reconnect with so many dear people on such a heart-felt level.

Well executed jumbo-vision made it easy to show smaller puppets, like the Yeti, to the whole room!

I made a surprise entrance as a crocodile, in training to play the drums, of course.
Huge thanks to Kynde Kiefel for the collaboration on this plan, and for bringing the whole event together!

UNDER the SAME SKY

Last September, my wife Tracy and I debuted our new show, Under the Same Sky.
Through live original music, storytelling and puppetry, Under the Same Sky uplifts and attunes audience members to their own personal joy, and heart-centered intuition. The show features  three stories: of the river, of the forest and of the mountain. The characters include philosophical crows, guitar-playing trees, and a cloud-surfing yeti, all theatrically portrayed through a combination of rod puppetry, marionette, and shadow puppetry. The show is book-ended with live musical performances which leave people feeling profoundly peaceful and inspired.
Tracy and I just finished our second run of this exciting new work, and are currently planning a schedule for future presentations, locally in Portland and throughout the Pacific Northwest.
