Dream Puppet shows use black light puppetry where the signature character, Dreamer, adventures through time and space in Richard's highly visual and largely conceptual style. I visited him in his home where his elaborate studio that houses his 3x3 metre performance is out back. With his partner Julia, Richard has been delighting audiences all over Australia and the world, especially in China.

We discuss what its like to run your own independent business through a NEIS scheme and develop international partnerships. We discuss music as a core component of Richard's work and the ways in which he considers and is driven by his audience. We discuss the landscape of Australian puppetry and Richard's upcoming show in which he touches on our relationship with the environment.
