What does the occult, a talking tongue, and
children's television all have in common? This week's guest, James
Godwin! Our friend and mentor James is the brilliant mind behind
the one-man performances Lunatic Cunning and The Flatiron Hex. He's
has worked as a puppet builder and on programs such as The Book of
Pooh, Big Big World, Chapelle's Show, Oobi, and many more. He is
also a performance coach for the National Puppetry Conference at
the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.
Don't miss this great conversation about James's
evolution from painter, to stand-up and theatre performer, to one
of puppetry's foremost creators. We dive deep into his artistic
process, the individuals who most influenced him, and how to
formulate the perfect reaction to an unruly audience. PLUS: hear an
incredible tale from his time in the Hundred Acre Wood working on
'Team Pooh.'
