THEATER</SPAN></U></B><st1:PersonName w:st="on">:</st1:PersonName><BR><BR>All
<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bread and Puppet Theater</SPAN></B> shows,
created and designed by <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Peter
Schumann</SPAN></B> with input from the company, use music, dance and slapstick
to get their point across. Their distinctive imagery — featuring puppets (of all
kinds and sizes), masks, costumes, paintings, buildings, and landscapes —
seemingly breathe with Schumann's distinctive visual style of dance,
expressionism, dark humor and low-culture simplicity.<BR><BR>The Bread and
Puppet Theater is one of the oldest, nonprofit, self-supporting theatrical
companies in this country. Schumann founded Bread and Puppet in 1962 on
<st1:City w:st="on">New York City</st1:City>’s <st1:place w:st="on">Lower East
Side</st1:place>. The Theater is now an internationally recognized company that
champions a visually rich, street-theater brand of performance art. Its shows
are political and spectacular, with huge puppets made of papier-maché and
cardboard, a brass band for accompaniment, and anti-elitist dances. Most shows
are morality plays — about how people act toward each other — whose prototype is
"Everyman." Their overall theme is universal peace.<BR><BR>Besides rod-puppet
and hand-puppet shows for children, the concerns of their first productions in
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place> were
rents, rats, police and other problems of that neighborhood. More complex
theater pieces, in which sculpture, music, dance and language were equal
partners, followed. The puppets grew bigger and bigger. Annual presentations for
Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and Memorial Day often included children and
adults from the community as participants. Many performances were done in the
street.<BR><BR>During the Vietnam War, Bread and Puppet staged block-long
processions and pageants involving hundreds of people. In 1970 Bread &
Puppet moved to <st1:State w:st="on">Vermont</st1:State> as theater-in-residence
at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Goddard</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, combining puppetry
with gardening and bread baking in a serious way, learning to live in the
countryside and letting itself be influenced by the experience. In 1974 the
Theater moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The
140-year-old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. "Our
Domestic Resurrection Circus," a two-day outdoor festival of puppetry shows, was
presented annually through 1998.<BR><BR>Through invitations by Grace Paley,
Bread and Puppet Theater became a frequent attraction at anti-Vietnam War events
in the '60s and '70s. By the '80s, the puppets had become emblematic of activist
pacifism and a sine qua non of American political theater, as exemplified by the
massive, ascending figures that are burned into the memory of anyone who marched
with or saw the haunting, massive June 12, 1982 Disarmament Parade in New York
City.<BR><BR>The company makes its income from touring new and old productions
both on the American continent and abroad and from sales of Bread & Puppet
Press's posters and publications. Internationally, Bread and Puppet Theater
performs massive spectacles with hundreds of participants, sometimes devoted to
social, political and environmental issues and sometimes simply to the trials of
everyday life. The traveling puppet shows range from tightly composed theater
pieces presented by members of the company, to extensive outdoor pageants which
require the participation of many volunteers. At most performances, the company
distributes bread and aioli (garlic sauce) to the audience.<BR><BR>Peter
Schumann was born in 1934 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Silesia</st1:State></st1:place>. He is married to Elka Leigh Scott and
they live in <st1:State w:st="on">Vermont</st1:State>'s <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Northeast</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Kingdom</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. They have five children and four
grandchildren. You cannot understand Bread and Puppet's work without
acknowledging that it is grounded in dance, but not in formal or classical
dance. Schumann's artistic pedigree is a mixture of dance and visual
art.<BR><BR>He studied and practiced sculpture and dance in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region></st1:place>
and in 1959, with a childhood friend, musician Dieter Starosky, Schumann,
created the Gruppe für Neuen Tanz (New Dance Group), which invented dances which
sought to break out of the strict limits of both classical ballet and the
expressionist dance tradition.<BR><BR>He moved to the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region></st1:place>
with his wife, Elka, and their two children in 1961. His formative years in the
<st1:place w:st="on">Lower East Side</st1:place> during the early '60s were
heavily influenced by the radical innovations spearheaded by John Cage and Merce
Cunningham. Schumann rejected the elitism of the '60s arts scene and embraced
the anti-establishment, egalitarian work of American artist Richard (Dicky)
Tyler. He embraced Outsider Art<st1:PersonName w:st="on">:</st1:PersonName>
everyday movement, improvisation, direct momentary composition, and the jazz
impulse toward overall creativity. He became a regular at Judson Poet's Theater
and Phyllis Yampolsky's Hall of Issues, where puppet shows included making music
and marching around. Street Theater productions followed, at rent strikes and
voter registration rallies in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">East</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Village</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, with crankies on garbage cans and
speeches by a Puerto Rican neighborhood organizer, Bert Aponte.<BR><BR>He
admired the abstraction of Merce Cunningham, and attended lectures at the
Cunningham studio, but ultimately rebelled against it. In an interview with John
Bell in 1994, he said that what "Cunningham demanded of his dancers was a
classical ballet background. He refused to work with anybody who didn't have
that. I totally disagreed. I had traveled around in Europe teaching dance; to
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">Sweden</st1:country-region></st1:place>, to a dance academy and
various places, pretending I was a great ass in dance, and gave them classes.
And they took me — I was fresh and I just did it. I said, ‘I'll show you what
dance really is; what you do is just schlock,' and I tried to liberate them from
aesthetics connected to modern dance and classical ballet and to these various
modes of existing dance at the time.'" There is dance at the bottom of all of
Schumann's work, but since puppet theater is traditionally a "melting pot" of
all the different arts, the dance component is frequently obscured.<BR><BR>For
