children for the past 25 years. she also is a dynamic substitute
teacher in the los angeles unified school district sharing her magic and
puppets with her students. born in 1957 in wilmington, delaware she
lived through the turbulent 1960's with a socialist father who was a

vigils. in the 1970's she became a member of the hare krishna movement
and studied with them for four years until she fell in love with a musician

she then spent a summer in cusco, peru studying puppetry and even performed in orphanages where she helped make puppets for very financially poor children who didn't even have shoes.next she studied at the university of delaware where she won second prize in a poetry competition. love then took her to breckenridge, colorado where her new york boyfriend/artist was living for the summer, but he had fallen in love with a woman who lived in a teepee, and then alice fell in love with his brother and moved to palm desert where she attended college of the desert. that didn't work out, so she moved to new york city where she studied experimental theatre at new york university and at that time was combining poetry and puppetry as an art form.
in 1981 she then moved to los angeles and was interviewed on romper room regarding her peruvian puppetry experience, and so many people called her to perform, that she began her puppetry career. she then studied at los angeles city college, and california state university los angeles where she received her b.a. in theatre arts, and she also completed her masters coursework in theatre arts at the same university.
clowning was a natural evolution, and alice was privileged to teach
anne archer how to be a clown for a robert altman film called shortcuts.

studied poetry with eve brandstein, founder of poetry in motion, and
was happy to be a featured poet for some of eve's readings as well as doug
