Coming Soon
Basil Twist is a director, designer, and puppeteer who furthers the artistry and technical craft of puppetry through his diverse range of works. His experiments with the materials and techniques of puppetry explore the boundaries of the animate and inanimate, the abstract and the figurative. His work ranges from classic stories to abstract visualizations of orchestral music and are informed by puppetry traditions from around the world. In dance, Twist has created new work with Pilobolus, Jane Comfort, Joe Goode Performance Group, and Christopher Wheeldon for Cinderella, The Winter’s Tale, and a new Nutcracker for Joffrey Ballet. Most recently, he created the sets and puppetry for Dorothy and The Prince of Oz with Ballet MET and Tulsa Ballet.
