Mohler Dance Academy - Mother Ginger - 2018 Nutcracker

This puppet style Mother Gingers were the brainchild of Travis Halsey. Each one would take several weeks to construct with a multitude of different techniques. The bodies constructed of high grade foam, the skeleton of pvc pipes, the outfits were sublimated prints, and 3D printed hands.
