EVOLVE PRODUCTIONS comes to the festival from Australia with their production, A Rare Performance. Michael Lindsay Simpson, the creator of Evolve Productions, graduated from college with a degree in law from the University of Sydney. After a short-lived job in a barrister¹s office, he walked out to try his hand at theater, and studied with the Actors Centre in Sydney and the Sydney Dance Company. Now a successful puppeteer, his productions draw on the talents he developed when he was one of 12 people chosen from all over the world to study with Philippe Genty at the International Institute of Puppetry in Paris.
