Lindai Boogerman

Lindai Boogerman is a Dutch puppeteer who performs the arm rods of Ieniemienie on Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street, with Marike Koek. Occasionally she also does Pino's right hand and the arm rods of Purk, when their normal assistants aren't available that is. How come Lindai only did assistance rather than performing her own characters on Sesamstraat? I guess Boogerman didn't feel very comfortable doing so. She also puppeteered Bert on the TV program De Wereld Draait Door, with Bert Plagman puppeteering Ernie. Outside of Sesamstraat, her other puppetry credits include Ik, Mik, Loreland and Leesdas Lettervos Boekentas (with a leading role). I've read Lindai Boogerman also does puppet theater shows for young children. Whether it's Sesamstraat or a puppet show, she sure knows a lot about making kids very happy all across the Netherlands. I wonder what she's been doing after 2019 since the show hasn't produced new episodes (though they should have resumed by now). There's hope for Lindai since the license with Sesame Workshop is still under negotiations. Boogerman must know that sometimes negotiations are a good sign when it comes to TV. She and Catherine van Woerden will have a chance to perform Ieniemienie on Sesamstraat again. They just have to keep their hopes up that negotiations will fall through. Lindai Boogerman you've done a great job both assisting on Sesamstraat  and having lead roles outside of the series. I hope you'll return to your position if the series ever starts up production again. It might not happen just yet, but if you keep your hopes up, it will happen really soon. Until then, keep on making kids really happy Lindai. You're a Dutch puppet star Boogerman!
