Alien Voodoo - Danny Miller

It's so nice to be back, and for a brief moment, back in the studio face to face with Voodoo Puppeteer Alien with Extraordinary Abilities (as stated on his U.S green card) - Danny Miller!

After finding a love of puppets from his family, Danny's passion for puppetry was reignited when he saw Ronnie Burkett perform 'Billy Twinkle' at Melbourne Festival. With the momentum brought on by The Eugene O'Neill Puppetry Conference, Danny found his network within the Melbourne puppetry scene and has been a collaborative maker and performer ever since. His passion for marionettes has driven him to the pinnacle point of any puppeteer's career - Broadway. Now, Danny is known internationally for his work in the USA national tour of Walking with Dinosaurs and as 'the face' of Melbourne and Broadway's King Kong.

Join Danny and I in his Rosebud studio as we set about building me a marionette! We talk all things 'Kong' puppetry and the world of marionettes today.

You can find Danny on Instagram @dannysworkshop and on the web at www.heartstrings.me
