Meet The Creative Minds Behind The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance!

The Museum of the Moving Image is hosting a book signing, panel discussion, and role playing event with some of the folks involved with The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

Friday night Cheryl Henson will host a conversation on the creative process behind this critically acclaimed series, with WGA-nominated writer and co-executive producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach, assistant puppet captain Warrick Brownlow-Pike (puppeteer of the evil Skeksis character The Chamberlain), and Alice Dinnean (puppeteer of the Gelfling Brea, and the Ornamentalist Skeksis).

A book signing will be held with the panelists from 5pm to 6pm, followed by a live discussion at 6pm. 

After the discussion the museum is hosting a live role play game "featuring the characters and stories of this beloved series in a theatrical game that extends into the Museum's galleries after-hours."

Admission to book signing and panel are free, but advance reservation required which you get here. Tickets to the LARP are $25 for non-members and can be bought here.

"At the heart of our upcoming new Netflix series is traditional puppetry – dozens and dozens of beautifully handcrafted creatures brought to life by talented people. These performers are unseen - just out of the camera’s frame, or removed with CGI - but they are the heart of Thra. We're proud to introduce our puppeteer cast for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance."
