THE MIXED UP MARKET
The Mixed up Market is a 2 person puppetry street performance act. The suitcase is a pop up marketplace with a single torso. Each marketplace vendor is brought to life through a series of alternating heads.
To date, all characters have been made exploring different forms of casting and moulding for puppetry. The aim is to increase the amount of characters over time.
