| The
walkaround (dancearound) puppet act stars are marionettes
crafted by Jerry and Becky Luther. They are simple, yet create
a highly effective animated illusion that gets instant recognition,
even at a distance. Everybody loves the image of a Pied Piper
leading a family of little ducks along the path or across
the grassy lawn. |
 Dancing
Duck Review
Billy,
Tilly, Silly, and Sheriff John are famous
for their dancing, marching, strutting and strolling to a
wide variety of popular music. The Dancing Duckman performs
something between aerobic and Be-Bop dance moves while trying
to keep all five of them in some form of synchronicity. This
act can go anywhere, cover a lot of ground, and provide intimate
one-on-one or group storytelling experiences. The scenes created
with enraptured toddlers, babes in strollers and their parents,
pre-teens, and adults form plays within plays that can hold
the attention of large groups of smiling people. |
 Bruce
the Duck
Bruce
is twenty-nine years old and has the worn feet and old stories
to prove it. He has been the Duckman's main sidekick through
years of performing. Bruce gathered crowds for him (known
then as the Hooeyman) when he pitched hooey sticks up and
down the West Coast in an authentic medicine show.
Bruce performs his basic six tricks in which he pecks, poops,
dances, flies, does dog impressions, and tips his hat. A show-stopper
is when Bruce mounts a platform to launch himself into a daring
flight, where he bursts the balloons of higher consciousness
held on a pole by a brave young volunteer. |
