In November 2013, Kay Yasugi was involved in performing at Melbourne’s La Mama theatre for an evening of experimental puppetry for adults. Artists came to present 4 short puppetry works in development. Kay worked with Tim Denton and Annie Forbes from AboutFace Productions on their show “What I Leave Behind” (and somehow she went from being an outside eye to one of the puppeteers in the piece!). Annie and Tim have gone on to perform their show at the Melbourne Fringe in October 2014.
Other artists who performed on the night included Rod Primrose, Beth McMahon and Mike Bevitt (The Indirect Object) with Gabriel Partington, Alison Richards and Debra Batton. In the words of the event's curator Nancy Black (from Black Hole Theatre), “The work was bold, rough, raw, funny and strong. The audience knew it was unfinished – and they responded with joy and excitement.”
