Mind of a Snail Puppet Co.

Mind of a Snail Puppet Co. are a shadow puppet duo from the West Coast of B.C. Canada. 

Since 2003, Jessica Gabriel and Chloé Ziner have been developing a multilayered style of visual storytelling using overhead projectors as their main light source.   Their performances combine originally crafted puppets, music, masks, and eclectic experiments in lighting and timing.  Their "Compost-Modern" approach explores the interconnectedness between what is natural, what is artificial, and where everything blurs in between. 

Mind of a Snail offers a variety of multidisciplinary performances and workshops to groups throughout the Lower Mainland, often customizing shows to suit a specific event or audience.  Mind of a Snail has created innovative new works for many organizations including Dusty FlowerPot Cabaret, Secret Lantern Society, In the House Festival, New Moon Festival Society, Still Moon Arts Society, The Pacific Rim Whale Festival, and many more.
