Gigantic Puppet for Shrek The Musical
Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing amazing!! I haven't been very active here this summer and there are two reasons why? One is because I had to stay in the hospital for a while and couldn't even do vent but now I'm back and with more energy than before, and A REALLY BIG SECOND REASON!! Many people here know that I'm a ventriloquist, but not a lot of people know that I've been studying puppetry for 2-3 years so far in a puppetry School in my hometown and I've been also studying and working professionally creating props for 5 years. Last year I created my first gigantic Puppet, which was 3 metres tall (about 9.8 feet high) for the most important local parade in my city, and this summer I was asked to create Shrek's Dragon for "Shrek The Musical", but not the small scale version that has been used in other professional productions lately...they wanted THE BROADWAY VERSION, which is the dragon but just from the lowest part of the neck to the head, IN A MASSIVE SCALE!! The Hospital Staff told me I couldn't be around a lot of people, and since nobody from the company knew anything about gigantic puppets, I just told them which materials to buy so they could send it to my house! And I've been building it on my own! It's not finished yet though, but I'm just very excited and wanted to share with you this personal side that I don't usually talk about! It's about 4 metres tall (13.1 feet high), It is 100% detachable, made with wood, PVC, foam rubber, yoga mats, sackcloth, accessory cord, several pulleys (or sheaves), elastic bands, polystyrene, latex, and yesterday I created an electric circuit with LED for the eyes and it works!! The dragon moves the mouth and the head a lot, and the eyes are transparent balls with an electric circuit of LEDs on the inside so they can shine in the dark. I still haven't painted anything. My main goal right now is to make sure everything works for the last rehearsals, which will take place in the following two weeks and in my free time I'll paint it. I'm also the director of the puppeteers, so I've also been organizing all the technical parts for puppeteers, technicians and actors and actresses. For now I'm just putting everything together and covering the entire structure of the head, so it can be taken to the theater in a few days!! I'm uploading some pictures of the process!!! I'll show you how It is when it's done!! I'm just very excited right now!! A lot of important people have been confirmed to attend to the premiere (including some of my childhood idols)!!! I also wanted to know your opinions or feedback of my work (please, note that it's not finished yet 😅😅...and the colors of the eyes are going to be programmes in the theater, so they're not going to look like that...that was just me trying them for the first time 🤣🤣🤣) !! So this is the main reason why I haven't been very active in this community lately...I spent some time in the hospital, and from the minute I arrived to my house, I've been designing and building this on my own (my family members want to kill me right now...but they're used to me doing all these crazy things 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)!!

I'm also the youngest person of the creative team and one of the youngest of the show in general! So I'm not sure how 40-50 year old puppeteers are going to take the fact that a 23 year old is their boss, but I'm doing my best! I'm sending them nice presentations and funny material to earn their trust and respect, and for now it seems to be working 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact: In Spain we usually say "Señores y señoras" (Gentlemen and Ladies) to welcome everybody, but I change that, and people think it's really fun. The letters "o" and "e" are considered for men and the letter "a" for women. But the "e" is also considered the neutral gender letter. So I usually say "Señoras, señores and señoros" ("señoros" means "male chauvinist") and everybody laughs immediately!! It's also a good way to welcome literally everybody and to engage with the audience from the very begining! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Decision for a Casting
Hey guys, I have to make a decision and I need your help. There's a performing arts contest for young performers (between the ages of 16-24 years old) here in Spain and the organization has texted me through social media, telling me that I have the kind of talent they are looking for and that I should apply for it. And there's obviously a casting process. So I have to send a video of one of my routines. And I can't decide which one I should send between my best 2 routines. I'm uploading both of them here and I would really appreciate if you could tell me which one you think I should send because I really can't decide. https://canva.link/rccso1qslg47flw https://canva.link/syuxis6wbll9kru In the first one, before doing vent, I tell the audience that we're going to travel to a cinema and we're going to see the first movie that was actually in color. And then the routine starts, and the song of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" starts playing and I do Judy Garland's voice while I eat the popcorns. Suddenly, the phone of the person of my left starts ringing and I react. Then I look to my right and I fall in love with that person. And all of that happens while I eat popcorns and do Judy Garland's voice. In the second one, I introduce my muppet Zeppelin and she sort of has a crush on me. When I perform I'm the shy one and she is totally the opposite. So she starts singing "I have Nothing" of Whitney Houston, to me and then I decide to follow her and do the same, and it becomes a love duo. Then I surprise her with her favorite rock and roll song, which is ACDC's "Highway To Hell" and we finish the routine. I'm really really lost with this decision and I would appreciate if you could tell me with which one you'd apply for the casting or which one you like the most. Thank you for your time and for being there. This truly is an amazing community.
