Testimonials:

"Max was ever helpful, cheery and positive in a rather stressful situation.  He had to build many puppets over a short period of time. And they all ended up being highly characteristic, ingenious and very loved by our team and the audience. 
He's a joy to work with."
Marianne Elliott, Director

"Max was an effortless and ingenious collaborator on Raven Girl. Not only did he prototype extraordinary wings for rehearsal use and sensitively adapted them for each unique dancer, the final wings were absolutely breathtaking. I cannot recommend Max enough - highly professional, inventive and totally user friendly!"
