Episode #86 - Tim Gosley - Puppet Podcast

 👉Puppeteer from British Colombia, he worked on numerous Muppet productions and on the Canadian version of Sesame Street, where he performed a role regularly for nine seasons.  He is also a Gemini Award winner for best preschool puppet performance.   

Tim Gosley’s four decades in puppetry have included a wide spectrum of projects. He was the festival director for Puppets for Peace in Victoria, B.C. He is a Gemini Award winning puppeteer on TV series including The Muppets,  Fraggle Rock, and was Basil Bear for nine years on Canadian Sesame Street. He creates his own shows for both families and adults in different techniques including LED shadows; low-tech live video projections; object manipulation; and Muppet-style manipulation. The content ranges from children’s shows like “The Ugly Duckling”, which toured German, the UK, Austria, Taiwan and across Canada, to the avant-garde including Michael McClure’s 60’s hallucination “The Meatball.” Since moving to Victoria in 2008, he started building giant puppets.  As a maker and designer, he has created giant puppets for The City of Victoria, Theatre Terrific, and Puppets for Peace.  His latest suitcase performance is with Runaway Moon Theatre’s project, “How did you get here?” Under development is “Le Bloke de North Hatley” based on his years living in Quebec.
