Beyond Real: Catherine Adell’s Puppetry Inspires Change

Catherine Adell is an actor, comedian and also puppeteer. She’s worked on the stage with Erik Ehn and performed comedy sketches on Conan and Jimmy Kimmel Live. But it’s when she’s moving and acting with puppets that she feels most inspired. 

In this podcast, she shares what it’s like to influence viewers’ expectations during a performance and to tempt them to see alternate dimensions and new realities.
