" As DNA is intrinsically bound to the proteins that compose it, so is puppetry to the helical composition of the arts. We aim to exploit this composition through the magical world of puppetry. We propose to bring together dedicated Detroit groups who will chart course through the “open waters” of artistry, design, and execution. They will produce linguistic tone in their own scripts, create visual art, produce original music, sculpt puppets and props, stage set, design costumes, and finally rehearse their production. Members of the professional artistic community, as well as their peers, will house, critique, and foster the groups at different local Detroit art galleries, to hone their skills in developing performing arts masterpieces; diligently laboring to deface modern perceptions of puppetry! At the end of the LAB groups will present their polished works, at a community festival for the arts! "
