Leslie Rogers is a Philadelphia-based artist, puppeteer, and wrangler. She was raised studying quilting and textile art, topped it off with a BFA from MICA, then discovered a dirty secret: magic. She practices the craft with the Bread and Puppet Theater in Vermont and Puppet Uprising, a Philadelphia-based puppeteers’ collective. Her specialty is lifestallation in either form, installed life or live stalling. Her greatest joy is coercing viewers into performing in ways they never would if asked outright.

Leslie Rogers will invite the Birth Beast of Business to plant the seeds of commerce in an area of commercial suffering. From its seething marsupial sack, the BBB will bestow upon the region the most pure and unadulterated symbol of success, the Necktie. The BBB’s properly blessed, birthed, and planted necktie is a surefire route to lucrative and total acquisition for all. The beast’s miracle will be glorified on video by Johnny Woods of Mathematical Park. http://www.vimeo.com/980661
