And May The Art Form Live - Peter J Wilson

Peter Wilson is a gentle soul with a giant career behind him. His delicate voice has been directing puppeteers since the 1970s and Peter has been heavily involved in some of Australia's earlier puppet theatre companies. Peter was a core member of Handspan Theatre (VIC) and artistic director of Skylark Puppet Theatre (ACT) in the 1990s. He worked on iconic productions such as The Hobbit and Lift Off before being puppetry director on spectaculars such as the King Kong, How To Tame Your Dragon and the Sydney 2000 Olympic Opening Ceremony's 'Nature' section. Peter's work is international, and he tells us of his projects all across Asia-Pacific while also reflecting on his training with Philippe Genty and his first interactions with Jim Henson.

Join Peter and I in his home in Melbourne's beach side suburbs where we talk about his passion for puppetry education and his deep respect of the industry's history here in Australia.
