Alice Gadzinski, Designer
Alice works and thinks in terms of props and sets and came to sculpture through years of dance and a photography BFA. Alice also credits a lot of her current work to her years of experience as a prop and backdrop designer/ builder at a photography studio in Northern Michigan. Finding puppetry seems a natural trajectory for Alice's work. Now freshly graduated from MICA and the Rinehart School of Sculpture, Alice is beginning her residency at the Creative Alliance and work on Blue Poodle, a collaboration with Charm City Puppets as well as other performers in the Baltimore Community.

We frequently collaborate with our partner organization in Chicago, VonOrthal Puppets.
