Inspired by the Showstopposaurus and Michael Curry’s designs for the Lion King, Barbara, Angie, and Morgan sketched out designs for the dragon, experimenting with style, shape, and engineering. The two main challenges were weight (as an actor would need to wear it on stage) and how to built it so it would move realistically – or how one would imagine a Venetian dragon sea-serpent might move!
We are very grateful to all of our many community supporters, without whom we could not succeed in bringing our holiday show and other seasonal events to Portland audiences.
