    Plans for Day of Magic Announced at February Ring Meeting Posted on February 27, 2018 by Dennis Phillips Ring Report Ring #170 “The Bev Bergeron Ring” SAM Assembly #99 February 2018 Meeting Incoming Ring President Mike Matson brought the meeting to order. He brought up the discussion from the board meeting before the meeting and asked for approval of the board’s decisions. Our Day of Magic will be this May, with the date to be determined. It will include lectures and a flea market. It was good to see some working full-time professionals back with us for a visit: Nathan Coe Marsh and Scott Pepper, who is now based in San Antonio, Texas. Guest Brandon Jackson from Goldsboro, North Carolina and Greg Solomon’s son, Eric. Bev Bergeron’s Teach-In recalled the problems with carrying a “Color Changing Pocket Knife” on an airliner and the correct way to do The Gypsy Thread effect. Bev said the original is the best, using wool yarn. Phil Schwartz presented Magic History Moment #90, the strange history of The Swastika Magic Company. He began by presenting an ABC Block routine with Chinese blocks. The red block vanished between two other colored blocks in a stack and reappeared in a box. Phil mentioned that the original characters on the blocks were swastikas. In the last 7 decades of the 20th Century the Swastika Symbol became stigmatized from its use as an icon of the German Nazi Party. It had been a 5,000 year old sacred symbol in many religions and in the Western world a symbol of good luck.

  • The Editors of Puppetry International Hope You Enjoy Reading Greg Pellone's Full
    The editors of Puppetry International hope you enjoy reading Greg Pellone’s full account of the life and work of Joe Parsonage. MEET JOE PARSONAGE About one year ago, I read an obituary for Mr. Robert Gregg written by Fred Putz in the Winter/Spring 2016/17 Puppeteers of America Puppetry Journal.1 For some reason unknown to me at the time, I had an overwhelming compulsion to try to find out more about Robert. I was eventually put in touch with his widow Christine, who coincidentally lives nearby, and she agreed to meet and tell me more about her husband. Sadly I never had a chance to meet Robert personally, but wish I had. Like me, he was a lifelong puppetry enthusiast. Our paths did cross by strange circumstance in August 2015 when he and Christine visited a large exhibition of our world puppet collection which was sponsored by The Florida CraftArt Gallery in downtown St. Petersburg (see the Fall 2015 POA Puppetry Journal2). While they were there, Robert had asked to meet me, but for some reason I was never informed and unfortunately we never met. Also like me, Robert was a Punch and Judy fan, and an old set of Punch and Judy puppets that he had purchased some years ago from “Uncle Ted” Raub, a television personality in Pennsylvania, were among his favorites. Those puppets are now a permanent part of the Pellone/Barrett Puppet Collection with much gratitude to both Robert and his wife and to Mr. David Wilde, notable British Punch and Judy collector and historian who positively identified them as Joe Parsonage’s work.3 All puppets in the collection are photographed, archived and cataloged with pertinent information.

    VICE Studios and Screen Australia present In association with Film Victoria and Create NSW A Blue-Tongue Films and Pariah Production Written and Directed by Mirrah Foulkes Starring Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman Produced by Michele Bennett, Nash Edgerton and Danny Gabai Run Time: 105 Minutes Press Contact Samuel Goldwyn Films [email protected] SYNOPSES Short Synopsis In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. Long Synopsis In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 16th century puppet show, writer director MIRRAH FOULKES turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a fierce, darkly comic and epic female-driven revenge story, starring MIA WASIKOWSKA and DAMON HERRIMAN. 2 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT JUDY AND PUNCH is a dark, absurd fable treading a line between fairy-tale, fantasy and gritty realism, all of which work together to establish a unique tone while upsetting viewer expectations. When Vice Studios’ Eddy Moretti and Danny Gabai approached me with the idea of making a live action, feminist revenge film about Punch and Judy, they encouraged me to let my imagination go wild and take the story wherever I felt it needed to go.

  • Punch and Judy’ and Cultural Appropriation Scott Cutler Shershow
    Bratich z Amassing the Multitude 1 Popular Culture in History 2 Interpretational Audiences Bratich z Amassing the Multitude 3 1 ‘Punch and Judy’ and Cultural Appropriation Scott Cutler Shershow It is a drama in two acts, is Punch. Ah, it’s a beautiful history; there’s a deal of morals with it, and there’s a large volume wrote about it. (Mayhew, 1967 [1861–62] 3: 46) n The New Yorker magazine of 2 August 1993, a cartoon depicts two grotesque, hook-nosed figures, male and female, fighting with cudgels Iwhile sitting at a table at an elegant restaurant, while a waiter stands by asking, ‘Are you folks ready to order?’ The cartoon prompts me to ask: why should Punch and Judy still be recognizable icons of domestic violence and social trangression at the end of the twentieth century, even to readers who may have never seen an actual ‘Punch and Judy’ puppet show? Versions of this question have, of course, been asked before. In answering them, however, scholars typically claim a primeval or archetypal status for Punch, pointing to his alleged cultural descent from a whole constellation of ancient sources including, for example, ‘the religious plays of medieval England’, ‘the impro- vised farces of the Italian comedians’, and ‘the folk festivals of pagan Greece’ (Speaight, 1970: 230). I will take the opposite position, attempting to locate ‘Punch and Judy’ in the actual processes of social life and cultural transmis- sion in a particular period, and in the dynamic interaction of cultural practices and their discursive reinterpretation. Such an approach may do more justice to the cultural meaning of figures who still apparently embody, as they do in the cartoon, anxieties about status, class, gender, and relative social power.
