Ventriloquists

Posts about ventriloquists.

You will find information about ventriloquists, ventriloquism and about puppets, using puppets and so on right here.

Ventriloquism has been around for many years, starting out feared and “dark”- in fact, even throwing your voice was a punishable offence many years ago.

Over time ventriloquism became more entertainment than “dark”

Now we have World famous ventriloquists.

Often, the art is used for comedy and satire, even political commentary.

If you have any interesting stories about vent puppets, ventriloquists, other puppets ( i would like to publish an article on Punch and Judy as well). Then submit it here.

Ventriloquism and puppetry has experienced a big resurgence in the last 10 years. There have even been 2 “America’s Got Talent” winners with their puppets.

The use of puppets is still a huge favourite amongst children and adults.

Explaining why some magicians love to use puppets in their shows.

This is one art where you can become very attached to your puppet alter ego… and from experience, you can often remember the character of a puppet that you have seen many years later.

The Ventriloquists Convention started Aug 25, 2015

Giselle Vienne’s “The Ventriloquist Convention”

Link to the launch video below (you tube).

A play about needs, desire, human emotion. Highly influenced by the annual Ventriloquist convention that happens in the Vent Haven Museum in Kentucky.

Centres on nine ventriloquists and their dummies (vents).

P.s. I would love to hear from some ventriloquists. Contact me…. would be great to put write up on you.

Here is a link to a full write up, the production, etc.: Ventriloquists convention.

Update to “The Ventriloquists Convention”

The show will be at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), for 3 performances – November 12- 14th 2015, at 7:30 pm each evening.

NOTE: I didn’t previously mention that the play is written by American Dennis Cooper and directed by Gisele Vienne.

Came across a well written piece by Kim Campbell (of the web publication “Gapers Block”), who interviews Gisele Vienne regards the play. Worth a read.
