ASTRAL GYPSIES

Partners in love & life, Sheena Cox and Michael Ventle, founded The Astral Gypsies Giant Puppet Troupe in 2010. Their inspiration was sparked when their friends at Coyote Rising taught them the ropes of giant puppetry and how to transform common everyday items into creative mediums. Although puppetry is one of the oldest forms of theater, this team has revolutionized giant puppet performances by self engineering designs that enable their creatures to come to life in the most heavily packed event centers and audiences across the country. The challange for them was space, how to get a 40 ft long creature through 100,000 people? The answer, new innovative designs that allow their creatures to crawl over the audience while they manipulate them from underneath. Over the years their unique style & designs have become so highly sought after that even producers like CEO of Insomniac Inc., Pasquale Rotella, has replicated their creative models and performance prowess. Today, The Astral Gypsies have grown into a tribe with over 40 giant creatures and 20 professional performers that feature a vartiety of art forms. A nationwide staple, touring the universe full time on a mission to open the door of the mind to a world of waking dreams by sharing their art with the world.
