David Maida

David Maida is a puppeteer, suit performer, and dancer whose only work with the Henson Company was playing Bozark on Animal Jam. David's performance combined pantomime with choreographed dance moves. I don't know why he never worked with the Muppets on any projects. He should have done one of the full-bodied Muppet monsters or did a dance character. There isn't a lot of information about Maida, probably because nobody knows a lot about him. David could have done more projects with the Henson Company, a lot of their projects have puppets or costumes he can perform. Outside of Animal Jam, he has been a former player at Walt Disney World, maybe performing in a lot of stage shows as either hand puppets or body costumes. For television, he has performed on The Dooley and Pals Show as the costume role of Dooley and puppeteering Cosmos (I think). He also performed on a kids show called Gina D Kids Club performing in a body costume and puppeteering two characters for separate segments. I wonder if he ever thought about trying something that Caroll Spinney once did. Caroll created the puppetry method of performing a puppet while wearing a costume. That way, Maida could puppeteer and suit perform at the same time. I still wish that David Maida would work in more projects involving the Muppets. Maybe when the Muppets perform again in Florida, he could ask the producers if he may assist them with either a puppet or a costume. Because someone who has worked at Walt Disney World should work with the Muppets because the Muppets productions are a part of Disney too. I still can't believe that there isn't enough information about him. David probably has some other projects he has done in Florida other than those three shows. I wonder how he makes the mouth move when he was in a costume. Does he ever have trouble seeing out of a costume? He must be a pro at performing body suits as well as puppets. David Maida, you are unknown to a lot of people and you don't do enough work with Henson or the Muppets. I want you to fix that problem by giving more info about yourself and work on more projects involving Muppets. Good luck to you!
