Tim Gosley has experimented with live video projection since the late 1980s. In 2024, two projects, Letters to Rumi by Meharoona Ghani, and poems from Platero and I by Juan Ramón Jiménez with classical guitarist Jacob Cordover, pushed his parameters for new discoveries.  He puppeteered for Jim Henson on the original Fraggle Rock; was Basil Bear on Canadian Sesame Street; and won a Gemini award for Wumpa’s World.

Materials required:  cell phone (both the light & video camera), props, puppets & basic craft supplies from around your house.    Document projector if you have one.
