Rumput
One of my main creative endeavors is working with Rumput as a crankie artist, puppet designer, and shadow puppet performer. Rumput is a multi-disciplinary performance group that derives its musical influences from keroncong, a form of Indonesian string-band. Crankies are a new iteration of 19th century moving panoramas.

My original work in this project includes the conception and painting of the crankie scroll, design of the shadow puppets, and performance as a puppeteer.

Most of the puppets in this video are of my design and/or making and I was one of the main collaborators for the choreography and performance.
