   About Mind of a Snail Puppet Co.
Mind of a Snail are Compost-Modern...... Colorfully exposing cultural quirks,,,,,,Developing shows and shadowjamming around ideas that represent human's interconnectedness with what is natural, what is artificial, and where everything blurs in between. Chloé Ziner and Jessica Gabriel have been collaborating under the name “Mind of a Snail” for the past six years. Their performances combine originally crafted puppets, original music, masked characters, recycled waste, and eclectic experimentations in lighting and timing. Based out of the Sunshine Coast of B.C. and currently "living the puppeteer's dream" full time in Vancouver. As shadow-casters, Chloé and Jessica have been developing a multi-layered style of visual storytelling using an overhead projector (OHP) as their main light source. ................................................................................................................. >>>>>>>The "Snails" have diverse skillbanks with expanding focus in............. ................................Clownology, Maskwork, Shadow Pupperty, Performance Art, Fine art, Junk art, Collage art, Permaculture, Spontaneous play, Soundscapes, Curcuit-Bending, Youthwork, Autism, Queer politics, Earth-based storytelling, Dadaist games, Grassroots Activism, Illustration, Stop-Motion, Zines, Stencilling, Sewing, Seed saving, Clothing design, Puppet design...... Giving away surplus! (One shadowjam at a time) ............................................................................................................... ............................................................................................................... .......................“As Compost-Modern artists, we are constantly mulching our conception of ourselves. We model our creative practices directly from nature’s design; mimicking a healthy compost heap by intentionally layering mediums and methods to create conditions where the seeding of new artistic practices can take place.” -MoaS MySpace Layouts
