Lead & Follow Lessons from Multi-Person Puppetry - Kelsey Kato

Puppeteer and educator Kelsey Kato shares his observations and insights of leadership and followership in puppetry through his work with Rogue Artists Ensemble, a Los Angeles theater company, and as a performer and guide at Noah’s Ark, an ongoing children’s exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center.

“It feels very comforting to have a puppeteer who is leading to be giving very clear cues with breath.”

“I like to be in a position where I’m creating a foundation for other people to give offers to do something interesting. I find that really fun and I find myself freed by that.”

“Having the choice to follow in the way that makes sense to you is really powerful.”
