Well it’s about time I make an official post about this…
On June 10th I had the absolute pleasure of puppeteering for Coldplay’s World Tour! At their stop in Denver, Cory, Ryan, Sammy, and myself puppeteered “The Weridos” alongside the incredible @orangehatmassey and @nicolette.santino
And I got to watch the concert from backstage! It was a once in a lifetime experience and I am so proud of myself for getting to this point in my career. I can now say I have performed for over 50,000 people!
If you happened to be at the concert in Denver and got any footage of the Weirdos in “Good Feelings” please send it my way!!!

Truly an amazing day. ✨💜🪐🎶

It’s finally time!
🎉 I’M MOVING BACK TO DENVER!
It’s been a long time coming and I’m thrilled. I found an adorable little spot in Cheesman Park. I’ll be moving up this month. Let’s hang out!

I want to say a huge thank you to all the people who made my time in the Springs memorable and healing. I cultivated life long friendships, tried new work, made SO MANY PUPPETS, and took a lot of time for myself to grow and heal these last four years.

And I am going to miss my house. Those of you who have seen it know how awesome it is. I felt like this house needed me and I really needed her. We healed together. We brought people through the door who also needed healing. And now I know I’ve outgrown her. I feel her starting to reject me. Like she is saying, “I’ve been holding you in this embrace for so long, but you have grown too big for me to hold so I release you back into the world.” 💜

Mushy stuff aside I am still a freelance puppeteer and performer and starting November I am looking for work in town!
However I am taking a step back from fabricating. I love making things and I will always be creating but I want to take this time to focus more on performing, directing, out of town gigs, and puppet consulting.

🐕 And I’m going to be starting a side hustle of dog/puppy training! Send your new puppy pals my way so I can help them out with positive reinforcement training!

I’ll prolly make a more in depth post later but if you know of any odd jobs, artist friendly part time gigs, and of course performing/directing opportunities please let me know!

I am so excited to come back to the city where I cut my teeth and return to my theatre family who I have dearly missed. 🎭

This is a big chapter closing for me, and I am thrilled and eager to see where life takes me next.

See ya soon Denver! 😘 by @katy.williams.design
