Abstract:

Jan Burger and Donovan Zimmerman are the creators of Paperhand Puppet Intervention. The puppets, some of which are over twenty feet tall, are constructed of paper-mache. The larger puppets require stronger materials to hold them together. Whenever possible, the builders use recycled materials. Burger and Zimmerman have been working together about seven years. The puppets are constructed and stored in an old textile mill in Saxapahaw. The puppets perform at a number of venues, including schools, festivals, and parades.
