Basil Twist Performing at "Raise the Elephant"

We are now in the final count down to the "Raise the Elephant" fundraiser on April 4th.

There are many great reasons to take part in this event; from supporting a great work of theatre, to listening to great music.

But one aspect that might be of interest to some will be the live performance by the world renown puppeteer Basil Twist. If you are unfamiliar with his work, check out his website at www.basiltwist.com

But that's not the only amazing puppet work you will be able to see. Matthew Acheson and Eric Wright.

Don't miss this opportunity to take part in something cool...

John Dyer’s “Paper Trumpet”

At the beginning of March, we announced that Stepstone would be co-producing “White Elephant,” which was created by John Dyer and Lake Simons, two very talented artists that reside in New York City. Sadly, some of you out there might only have a very limited knowledge of these two guys, and we aim to rectify that.

Currently, we are in the process of building the “W.E.” website, but in the mean time, there is another great page you should check out; www.papertrumpet.com Here you can get all kinds of information about John’s music, his performances, buy one of his albums, and get a great insight into this very talented musician.

Check it out.

Stepstone Media to Co-Produce Dyer/ Simons’ “White Elephant”

We are very happy to announce that Stepstone Media has reached an agreement to become a co-producer for “White Elephant,” an amazing experimental theatre piece created by the physical theatre artist and puppeteer Lake Simons and singer-songwriter, lyricist, and composer John Dyer.

We here at Stepstone have been huge fans of these guys for years, and I don’t think we can explain how excited we are to co-produce this project with them. Lake and John created this piece almost three years ago, and have been developing it ever since. “White Elephant” is a theatre work told through puppetry, movement, and live music.

Stay tuned for more updates on this production.

Stepstone’s Videos

We here at Stepstone like making art, and movies, and trying to be creative. In the past, we have made short videos that accompanied our productions, and other pieces just for the fun of it. As time has gone on, we knew that we needed a place to showcase our work… That’s pretty much why we set up our own Stepstone Media YouTube Channel.

Stepstone Update

Just an update for all you guys on what Stepstone has been up to since October.

The good news is that NEMESIS was a huge success, and our two week run exceeded our expectations. Thanks to many, many people who volunteered, and worked on that project… It would not have happened without your support.

Over the Holiday break, we took some time to start planning where we are headed next. We entered into negotiations with a few different New York artists, and we are excited about the prospects for the Spring.

At the beginning of this year, we came to an agreement with the writer John Esquivel to develop one of his stories into a short subject film. Pre-production work will begin on this yet to be named project this Summer.

More news coming…
