Collaborative performance artwork 'BABA YAGA'

Paradise Productions are submitting a five minute piece of drama featuring the Russian folk character Baba Yaga. The character's forbidding appearance make her a challenging and visually exciting subject for creating in recyclable materials. The character features in many Russian folk tales. She lives in a hut on fowls legs and flies around the skies in a giant mortar looking for children to eat.

Paradise Productions consist of:
Charlotte Bouchard. A primary school teacher at Shaldon School, a graduate of Wimbledon School of Art with a degree in Theatre Design. She has been involved with her pupils in projects such as willow weaving, puppet making and film animation. She is currently involved with her class in a textile collage project in collaboration with the National Trust at Killerton House.
Claire Libby. A retired teaching assistant from Cornwall. Ran a pottery club and was involved making withy lanterns for Truro Festival of Lights. Particularly enjoys working with textiles.
Chris Libby. Retired boatbuilder with experience with wood and laminates. Enjoys weird challenges and in collaboration with the other members of the group has produced a wooden horse of Troy and a galleon using recyclable materials for recent carnivals. We are all members of Teignmouth Players and recently produced the set (a tree!) for a production of Blue Remembered Hills. We are excited at the prospect of creating Baba Yaga for Trail Wearable Art Show 2009.
