[Paperhand Puppet Intervention <donovan AT paperhand.org>]

Hello Paperhanders and happy 2012!

We have been very busy behind the scenes so far this year. We are working on 
a 3-D film with the Morehead Planetarium that will debut on the dome in Nov. 
It's going to be an awesome experience for the whole family, with puppets and 
music by Paperhand with computer animation by the Morehead team. Exciting!

We are also doing the Puppets for an opera called Master Peter's Puppet Show 
in the spring with the Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle. Look for that May 
20th at the Carolina Theater in Durham.

Also, the most exciting news of all is that Donovan and his wife, Lea, had 
their baby girl, Althea Grace, on Dec 6th. She is perfect and amazing and we 
are all overjoyed to have her here in this awesome community.

Most of the work we are doing at this point is either in schools or in our 
studio and sketchbooks. However, we are looking for some folks to come help 
get a handle on our studio space in Sxphw.

Feb 18th from 10-3, we'll be working, cleaning, organizing, etc. so we can 
have a productive year in our space at 6079 Sax-Swep Rd Graham, NC 27253.
Come get a sneak peak at the puppets for the Morehead while you're there.

Our annual summer show will begin Aug 10th this year and we are now accepting 
intern applications. We have room for 5 puppet building and performer 
positions as well as a new position for a music intern for the band. Contact 
us at donovan AT paperhand.org to inquire.

Mark your calendars now, We're gonna have a big ole spring fling dance party! 
at our studio in Sxphw, on April 14th, celebrating the 
wild-passionate-fun-sweetness-of-spring. Hope you can join us for that.

That's all for now. Thank you all for your continued support over the years 
(our 13th)!
with gratitude and inspiration,
The Paperhand Crew
