About Me

I am a multi-disciplinary theatre artist specializing in mask work and puppetry. I work as an actor, designer, director, and teacher. If you'd like to commission an original mask or mask set, please contact me at tony_fuemmeler @ yahoo.com. Also check my workshops and performances pages for the latest opportunities to take a class or see my work in action.

A Little History

My interest in masks began in undergraduate study with Ècole Jacques Lecoq graduates Ron and Ludvika Popenhagen at the University of Kansas and continued forward into training with Bruce Marrs and Joan Schirle at the Dell'Arte International School.

There have been many wonderful individuals and companies with whom I have collaborated over the years. Look here for more information about them.

I have taught puppetry, mask-making and performance to all ages of students in workshops and residencies across the country and I have created masks for clients near and far since 2003. I have exhibited masks in
