Tinamarie Ivey

Josefina Jordan,

Junior Underwater Explorer

​

This is a puppet based spectacle.  The play explores the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans through the eyes of 12 year old Josefina 'JoJo' Jordan, the youngest member of the League of Underwater Explorers.  Jo Jo and her first mate, Archibald Otter, search the depths of the deepest oceans in their submarine, Big Tuna, in hopes of finding the source of a mysterious disease.   All puppets were built with found and recycled materials and included both Hand and rod puppets ranging from 2 feet to 10 feet and a 14 foot Backpack Puppet.

​

This play was created over a twelve month collaborative process with the staff of the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
