Professor and His Puppet

Professor and His Puppet pairs a professor character with Pavlova, his human puppet, in a short comic performance. The duo use a fairy-tale premise and audience interaction, with humour for both children and adults. Based in Melbourne, the duo offer an eight-minute show for outdoor events, where the pair gather a crowd around the action. They appeared at the Royal Perth Show in 2007 and 2009. Human puppetry forms the central idea, with two performers bringing the professor-and-puppet relationship to life.
