The Sharing
Walk of the Dandelion by Luke Brown Company came to Newbury Town Centre! Giant puppet Daniel walked down the high street with his dandelion clocks spreading joy, as the artists tested out a new puppet and choreography.
The Work
Walk of the Dandelion is a heartwarming project that aims to spread joy and foster connection among people of all ages. Beautifully crafted 8-foot puppet Daniel, an ethereal, ancient man of the earth, walks with audiences, sharing moments of delight, contemplation, and fun. Daniel gifts dandelions, each with a positive message, and invites audiences to join him in gentle interactions as he walks. The kind and subtle interactions offer encouragement and delight, spreading positivity and hope.
Daniel is sustainably focused and crafted from willow, repurposed plastic milk bottles, demonstrating Luke Brown Company’s commitment to eco-conscious art.
