Illusionist at Skipton UK. 27th September, 2013. International Puppet Festival. Sergio Aguilar, 28 from Madrid with S-Staffs optical illusion “visual kaleidoscope at Skipton's biennial international puppet festival featuring puppet theatre companies from all over Europe.
Skipton's biennial international puppet festival features puppet theatre companies from all over the world. The 5th Skipton International Puppet Festival is a long weekend full of puppets large and small, happening over the weekend 27th - 29th September 2013. From flea circuses to giant sheep, trolls to tea kettles, the streets of a quiet Dales market town once again filled with puppets as the Skipton International Puppet Festival returns for its fifth outing. The first recorded appearance of the S Shaped Staff is on the PBS special, “Moschen in Motion” (1991) with Michael Moschen. Moschen is an innovative juggler who has worked with Cirque du Soleil, won the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant”, and was the contact juggler behind David Bowie’s amazing performance in the film Labyrinth (1986). Since the s-staff shares many characteristics with the Double Deer Horn of Chinese martial arts, it is believed to be one of Moschen’s inspirations for the shape and early manipulation techniques.
