animator Chad VanGaalen, Team America World Police puppeteers the Chiodo
Bros., comedian Cory Mack, Faustwork Mask Theatre, sideshow hucksters
Ghostwriter Theatre, puppet-maker and body-painter Jacquie Paul, hip-hop
artist and youth leader Jerilynn Webster, rocker and artist Kara Keith,
traditional Aboriginal mask and cultural performers 'Ksan Performing Arts,
shadow puppeteer Lynn Jeffries, Cirque du Soleil clown Mooky Cornish,
hysterical satirist Paul Zaloom, multi-media puppeteers Red Smarteez
Marionettes, internationally celebrated auteur Ronnie Burkett, scandalous
sasspots Small Brown Package Theatre, and emerging Aboriginal and non-

downtown with events for adult and family audiences.
