Whitworth Art Gallery<\/a>‘s Frost Fair<\/a> took place earlier this month over a\u00a0cold December\u00a0weekend. For me, the highlight on the event was witnessing Walk The Plank<\/a>‘s Ice Queen performance on the courtyard. Lasting around 20 minutes, the show featured\u00a0a large-scale metallic puppet which\u00a0was\u00a0controlled by 4 operators (1 inside and 3 outside) and featured both fire and “snow” being shot into the night’s sky.<\/p>\n

Through puppetry and music, a short story of the queen\u2019s changing moods was enacted, climaxing in plumes of flames shooting upwards with increasing intensity from the roof of the Whitworth’s entrance. One lovely moment was when a small group of children ran forward to play in the \u201csnow\u201d spraying in an arc behind the queen as she traversed the square.<\/p>\n

Below is a small selection of my photographs of the performance. More photographs can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
