Most recently, he was a company member of Basil Twist's The Rite of <br /> Spring, performing at both Memorial Hall in Chapel Hill and as part of the White Light Festival <br /> at Lincoln Center in New York. <br /> He was invited to attend the National Puppetry Conference at the O'Neill Theater Center as a <br /> playwright in 2012 and again in 2013, and participated in two recent Puppeteers of America <br /> national conventions: presenting a workshop in light and lighting design in 2011 and as Director <br /> of Works-In-Progress in 2013. In 2015, he premiered an original work—Jiro Kaja Encounters A <br /> River Ningyo—in which rod puppets perform a"traditional"Japanese kyogen play. <br /> Hamilton's masks and costumes have received awards in Chicago—Lysistrata 2411, A.D.—and <br /> Chapel Hill, where his Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (direction, adaptation, and <br /> production design)was lauded by the Independent Weekly, which said: "... the design and <br /> adaptation of Rob Hamilton's new... version of Dai Sijie's enchanting 2000 novel is basically <br /> unassailable. Indeed, many have justifiably respected Hamilton's talents for years now in <br /> regional productions with StreetSigns, Wordshed, Manbites Dog and Deep Dish Theater. " <br />
