Yvonne Stone

Yvonne Stone is a puppeteer, puppet designer/builder, and director whose only work with the Henson Company was being an additional puppeteer on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Yvonne is yet another puppeteer who only worked with the Henson Company on one project. She could have done work with the Muppets like assist them in Muppets Most Wanted or assisted in their live performance at the O2 Arena. Outside of The Dark Crystal, Stone has puppeteered on a couple shows like Doodle Do, Mongrels, BBC Proms and Pompidou. Her designing and building work can only be seen on two projects Space Pirates and a short called Pop Art (she also puppeteered in). I've read that Yvonne has also been making puppets and directing puppetry for over 15 years. Some of the theatre productions she worked on include War Horse, Nation, His Dark Materials, and The Lion King (and that's only a few of them). I don't know why, but she's worked extensively for Theatre Rites when she should have been working with the Henson Company. Blackeyed Theatre's Frankenstein, starring Stone's monster puppet, is currently touring. It's great to know that even if she isn't performing her monster puppet, it is still being used by other people for many Frankenstein shows. But it's a shame that Yvonne hasn't done any projects featuring Muppets. Only one project that's related to the Creature Shop. Maybe it's possible she could perform the puppets she designed, at home and then she can be with the Muppets when they guest star on a hit talk show or something. I'm not sure if that's going to happen soon, but you never know when the Muppets will guest star on television again. Also if there is another project created by Henson Company, that's being filmed in the UK, Stone could ask if she could assist for the main puppeteers. I've also read that Yvonne has been giving out five tips for working with puppets to those who are interested in puppetry. I think that's a good thing to do, because anyone who will read each of those tips, then they'll know what to expect in when they puppeteer. Not only Yvonne's idea genius, but it will also bring in more puppeteers to the world. Yvonne Stone, you've done a great job at designing, building, and performing puppets. And you're a creative genius to make five tips about what future puppeteers can expect when they puppeteer. I hope that when the Muppets make another project in the UK, that you'll ask if you can be one of the assistants. Keep up the work Yvonne Stone!
