About Seth
Seth Eberle is a socially and community engaged puppet artist and teaching artist based in Minneapolis, MN. He has a B.S. in Theatre Arts from North Dakota State University, alongside apprenticing and working for various companies in puppetry and scenic design, including Magic Lantern Theatre, the Bread and Puppet Theater, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theater, Hinterhands Puppetry, Public Domain Productions, Heather Henson's IBEX Puppetry, the Nordnorsk Opera Company of Norway, and VEE Corporation. Recently, Seth has received the NextStep grant through the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and the Artist Initiative Grant through the Minnesota State Arts Board.
Recently, Seth has performed at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre in Make Believe Neighborhood and Music Animaged directed by Bart Buch, both were productions that focused on the Phillips Neighborhood of Minneapolis where he lives and celebrated the life and legacy of Fred Rogers. Seth has also performed at Open Eye Figure Theatre with Torry Bend's If My Feet Have Lost the Ground.
In the summer of 2015 Seth was a fellow in the Creative Community Leadership Institute, a program of Intermedia Arts, where he delved into making work in and with the community. He is particularly interested in working with youth and recognizes that puppetry as an art is at the crossroads of many art forms. This gives youth a chance to try many different things, and he encourages them to find their own creative voice while working toward a larger project. Seth is currently an artist associated with Silverwood Park, where he teaches a variety of programs focused on art and the natural world, and In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.
In his personal work, he is interested in creating puppetry for both children and adults, and is consistently working on producing work that has elements of the natural world, home, and his own personal take on relationships in every production. His productions have been part of In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre's PuppetLab, the Minnesota Zoo's Big Bugs! Exhibit, and at community centers, preschools, libraries, and various other venues across Minnesota.
