The Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry through exceptional artistry, grace and refinement of movement. The performances, stunning in their intensity and simple beauty, have thrilled audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America including stops at the Kennedy Center, Annenberg Center, Kravis Center, and many others.

In the performance Life in Motion, Joseph Cashore presents his collection of marionette masterworks. Characters of depth, integrity, and humanity are portrayed in a full evening unlike anything else in theater today. The performance is a series of comic and poignant scenes taken from everyday life and set to beautiful music by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, and Copland. Through a combination of virtuoso manipulation, humor, pathos, classic music, and poetic insight, The Cashore Marionettes take the audience on a journey that celebrates the richness of life.

The classic and well-known Simple Gifts is a shorter version of the show intended for a Family Audience. The themes expressed in Simple Gifts are a touching reminder of the beauty, joy, and wonder of life.

An excerpt from a video created for the Salem Italian American community in 2003 when St Mary’s Italian Church - the neighborhood church they founded, funded and built - was closed on them by the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. The story of this closing was also featured in the documentary “Hand of God” (http://www.handofgodfilm.com/ ). The church and two neighboring properties (rectory, youth center, apartment building) were purchased by the Salem Mission - an agency that houses the homeless. The three other properties have been developed into a shelter and apartments but the church itself has served as a thrift shop run by the Mission. Recently (May 2009) The Salem Mission announced plans to gut the church and convert it into 20 housing units. A grass-roots movement is under way to buy the church from the Mission and resurrect it as a community arts center. This would save the church’s interior features and art, while allowing former parishioners, residents and visitors to once again attend the church - this time for performances and exhibits. The Salem Community Arts Center would employ Mission clients and engage them in educational opportunities.

Buddha Padmasambhava prophecised in His Vajra Spike Testament :
„In the future times there will be many perverted practitioners who will treat the Dharma as merchandise. At that time all of you who obey my Words, do not forsake the ten Dharmic Activities.”
These are :
copying scriptures for free distribution, making offerings, giving alms, listening to discourses, memorising, reading, expounding, reciting, reflecting upon and training in the meaning of Dharma.
The aim of Open Buddhist Forum International is to perform these ten Dharmic Activities and to do our best to stop commercialisation of Buddhism in modern times. Our pure Dharma Activities are for all beings.

Protecting human rights of Buddhists worldwide (see Visual Dharma : Burma-Myanmar- Urgent Appeal to All).
OPEN BUDDHIST FORUM INTERNATIONAL offers online study of sacred Buddhist texts and Teachings , presented in acontemporary way through Visual Dharma . As these are sacred texts we ask everyone to theat them with respect.

Called “Gift to Forever,” this project asked children and their families to think about what kind of gift or contribution they could make to our future and represent that gift using homemade clay. After visualizing their gift, participants placed it on a central table to aid in the creation of a “new world.” Nearly 500 people participated in the project - creating a wide range of thoughtful and inspired gifts.
