<\/strong>About the project<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered; “Is this the safest way to do this?” OR “What would actually happen when you do that?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Vertically Unchallenged presents Puppet Safety Videos<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you remember all those old 20th century Safety Videos, of why Bill shouldn’t lift that heavy box? Or else he’ll hurt his back? Or why sitting at a computer for hours on end without getting up to stretch can lead to arthritis or carpel tunnel. With Puppet Safety Videos, the puppets get hurt so that you can see why not to do it that way or use and climb that ladder the correct way so you don’t fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project received financial support from the National Theatre School of Canada via the Art Apart program<\/a>, an emergency fund for emerging artists who are affected by physical distancing due to coronavirus (COVID-19).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
