Panther and Crane October 16, 2010

IBEX Puppetry’s Heather Henson carries forward the legacy of her father Jim Henson (UM ’60) through her own artistic vision. Panther and Crane tells the story of a young crane’s journey of survival through Florida’s ecosystem — its wild places and its sprawling man-made landscapes. Dance, puppetry, animation, kite work, music and colored lights weave a world of mythic imagery and dreamlike metaphor.

Join us for a post-performance Talk Back and puppetry demonstration with the artists.
Heather Henson is a Jim Henson Artist-in-Residence in the School of Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies for 2010-11.This performance is supported, in part, by the Henson Endowment for Performing Arts.

This performance is sponsored in part by the generous support of The Gazette & The Star.
