Kay Yasugi has fashioned herself into a staple of Australian puppetry. Based in Sydney, Kay brings her true sense of joy to every performance, workshop and puppet she brings to life. She is a powerhouse theatre maker, performer and builder trying to create as many opportunities for puppeteers in Australia as she can. In this episode we talk about Kay’s love of Puppets, but also her love of puns! We find out about the landscape for learning puppetry at a tertiary level in Australia and ask Kay about how her experiences at The London School of Puppetry shaped her career. We follow this with a huge chat about all things puppetry in Australia today, Kay's show - Haenyeo Women of The Sea and get really, really into bananas when we meet her puppet pal, Chee Chee.
