San Francisco native Basil Twist has established himself, over a 20-year career, as one of the foremost puppeteers in the United States. Twist is renowned for having advanced new techniques and genres of performance that bring puppeteering into the realms of contemporary theater and visual art. Through both technical innovation and poetic force, his works conjure iconic worlds on the stage. Twist is the Mohr Visiting Artist at Stanford University for Spring 2014.
