Cashore Marionettes open W&J’s art series
The 2018-19 Washington & Jefferson College Arts Series opens at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Olin Fine Arts Center with Cashore Marionettes’ “Life in Motion.”
The internationally-acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry. The show has been seen by audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America, including stops at the Kennedy Center, Annenberg Center and Kravis Center.
In “Life in Motion,” Joseph Cashore presents his collection of marionette masterworks. The performance is a series of scenes taken from everyday life and set to music by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss and Copland. Through a combination of virtuoso manipulation, humor, pathos, classic music, and poetic insight, the Cashore Marionettes take the audience on a journey that celebrates the richness of life.
Joseph Cashore has received numerous awards for his artistry, including a Pew Fellowship for Performance Art, a Henson Foundation Grant and a Citation of Excellence from the UNIMA-USA, the highest honor an American puppeteer can receive.
