ARTIST BIO

Liz Joyce is an accomplished puppeteer who writes, creates, and performs a growing repertoire of works for young audiences and their adults. Liz believes that puppetry is the gateway to theater and that this art form breathes beauty and life into storytelling. Trained as a fine artist, Liz also was certified in Art Education K-12. Her artistic approach to puppetry has also been influenced by European puppetry traditions and the eccentric energy of New York's downtown performance artists. She honed her carving skills working with traditional puppet carvers in Prague, Czech Republic, and often collaborates with other puppeteers in the international puppet community. Liz's puppet operetta, Sing a Song of Sixpence was awarded a UNIMA Citation, the highest award in American puppetry. Since 2001, Liz has hosted many talented puppeteers at Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY where she is the founder and artistic director. She recently served on the Board of Directors for the Jim Henson Foundation and currently serves on the Puppetry Guild of Greater New York's Board of Directors.
