When Disney decided to adapt @disneyfrozen for the stage, the creative team seriously considered killing off Sven, the reticent #reindeer. But the company invited its longtime puppetry collaborator, Michael Curry, to experiment with ways the shaggy creature might be represented onstage. The resulting reindeer has become one of the most popular characters in the show. Sven’s head is molded out of carbon-fiber composite, his body is shaped foam covered with braided raw silk, and his hooves are rubber-coated foam sculpture mounted around aluminum and stainless-steel orthopedic braces. Underneath, the performer wears a full-body wicking suit, a carbon-fiber head mount held in place by a soft urethane skin, knee and elbow pads, biking gloves, and a mouth guard. For the 40 minutes Sven is onstage, the performer inside is on all fours, essentially planking for up to 7 minutes at a time, with 11-inch stilts attached to his hands, and 5-inch metal shanks attached to his feet. The role was originated by @afpirozzi, an actor who has been dancing since he was 4. He and Michael, who has studied animal anatomy, each spent hours watching YouTube videos of migrating reindeer. “It turns out they’re really gangly, just like our guy — they’re not graceful,” Michael said. @karstenmoran took these photos of Andrew becoming Sven.
