KRISTIN HURST DAUNER
Kristin has worked since the early 1990s in opera, theatre, and film as a scenic artist and properties designer on stages such as Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Lincoln Center, and Houston Grand Opera. She has worked on commercials for ESPN and McDonalds, and others. After touring with Rodriguez’s opera Frida and spending a summer at Bread and Puppet in Vermont, Kristin decided to start her own satirical puppet troupe, the Egg Family Puppet Show, which produced 16 shows, 2 radio shows, and 2 radio emissions. In 1998, Kristin ran away with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. Several years later she ran away from the circus… with her future husband. Settled in Switzerland, Kristin began once again to produce puppet shows, changing her previously dark style to a lighter one for kids and families. She became interested in clowning and street performance, and eventually toured with 2 of her productions in Europe.After her incredible son Jack turned 5, Kristin started to incorporate him into the shows, as he seemed to like the stage. The two have been working together ever since.Kristin is a theology student, an avid reader, and has 2 grey cats.
