ABOUT ME

I'm Melissa (Mel) Carter

​

I'm originally from Seattle. In college I developed an interest in experimental theatre & devised original work. After undergrad I toured around America with the National Players. Then I moved to DC where I worked in the performing and visual arts. After five years, I left to get my MFA in puppetry from the University of Connecticut. I recently wrapped up the tour of my femenist puppetry sketch show, B*tch Eat Dog.

Now, I'm moving to Wellington, New Zealand!

In my work, I try to lift up society’s absurdities

using the infinite visual language of puppetry.
