Lesley Butler runs and lives above her shop ‘Puppet Planet’, where she’s worked as a professional Punch &amp; Judy Professor, Storyteller and Clown since 2003. She participated in Fluxus ‘Happenings’, meeting Nam June Paik and Josef Beuys at the Düsseldorf Academy in 1981. She co-founded Brixton Art Gallery, curating the Performance Art Festival ‘Bartok in Brixton’ there in 1983. With David Medalla&#x27;s &#x27;Octetto Ironico&#x27;, she performed the ‘A to Z of Synoptic Realism’.
Her video experiments were featured in a technical handbook and in 1988 she received British Council funding to showcase films and Performance Artists in Germany. Having worked as a Location Manager around Europe, she then joined the BBC in 1990, working as Assistant Producer on BBC2’s ‘Open Space&#x27; series. Lesley’s photos have been published and exhibited, including at the National Portrait Gallery in 1993.
Performing with Bubble Theatre, she produced her first marionette in 1999 - subsequently her puppets and puppetry have been commissioned for television. In 2007 Lesley was invited to contribute to the Breakfast Talk series at The Slade, presenting masks + puppets to Bruce McLean among others. Her short film &#x27;Pinocchio&#x27; from 2009 was screened at film festivals in the U.S. and U.K. Receiving an Arts Council Bursary in 2012, Lesley researched puppetry in India and contributed an article to a book.
