Theatre Adventure is honored to have been asked by Sandglass Theater to collaborate with Tarish Pipkins, more commonly known as Jeghetto, a visiting artist with the Sandglass Theater Voices of Community Program. He will visit the Theatre Adventure Summer Seminar during our first week, June 21-25 to help inspire and guide the creation of puppets for a re-telling of our earth-inspired original story, “Of the Hills,” written by another visiting artist, Maia Gilmour. Several original stories will be explored during the second and third weeks of camp.
Voices of Community presents top-level performance artists from around the country whose work embodies a commitment to the arts as a powerful means for effecting social change to inspire dialogue, understanding and engagement with diverse issues within our own community.
Tarish "Jeghetto” Pipkins
Jeghetto is a self taught artist who creates live paintings, poetry and puppet theater. His work focuses on themes of racial justice, human communication, and the inspiration found in common materials such as paper and cardboard. Jeghetto’s passion is promoting oneness through the magic of Puppetry.
Most recently, Jeghetto had the pleasure to work with national recording artist, Missy Elliott on her music video, WTF (Where They From) controlling the Pharell puppet and doing some puppet building.
