Scapers in the Atlanta area have an opportunity to meet Brian Henson on September 28! :D
Brian Henson, son of Jim Henson, Co-CEO of The Jim Henson Company and Director of Farscape Peacekeeper Wars, will be appearing at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA on Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 5:00 pm.
Henson will present an overview of the history of puppetry at The Jim Henson Company and explore the different technical achievements that have become a part of the company's legacy and have led to the groundbreaking development of the Henson Digital Puppetry Studio, a unique system that allows performers to voice and puppeteer computer-generated characters in real time. The presentation will include video clips and will be followed by a question and answer session.
Tickets are $10.00 - but Scapers can get $2.00 off by mentioning this discount code: BRIANHENSON. Center members get in free. Visit www.puppet.org or call ticket sales at 404-873-3391. The Center is located at 1404 Spring Street, NW, in Midtown Atlanta. Limited free parking is available on-site.
While you're at the Center, you can also see the new Jim Henson: Wonders from his Workshop (which includes a Farscape installation) and Jim Henson: Puppeteer exhibits. Here's a link to a nice article about the Wonders exhibit: http://www.ajc.com/search/content/2008/09/15/henson.html.
Please spread the word - let's show Brian some Scaper love! I hope to see you there!
