Circus ring mistress and founder of the delightful Gifford’s circus, Nell Gifford, will be here in the Pitt Rivers Museum to talk about Gifford’s Circus, about how this year’s show ‘Lucky 13’ came together and how puppets were used to fabulous and entertaining effect.
This year’s set designs and visual aesthetic were heavily influenced by shadow puppets in the Museum collections and the Gifford Circus puppets from ‘Lucky 13’ are currently on display here at the Pitt Rivers Museum until 17 November 2013.
