The Dark
Louise Gold performed as Skeksis
Principal Puppeteer on The Gourmand Skeksis (SkekAyuk), and also fulfilled various other puppeteering duties, such as: Radio-control assistant for Kira, Skeksis Cable crew member
(for other people’s Skekses), and Podlings.
Filmed at Elstree Film Studios, 1981.
Proving, perhaps, "That girls can pull their
weight like men, wherever girls are free." Amongst her various puppeteering jobs on this film, Louise was the only female
puppeteer to be a Skekis Principal performer.

Character Names - UrSkeks and their divisions
UngIm
(the one who speaks to Jen at the end of the film, a combination of urIm The Healer and SkekUng The Garthim Master)
SoSu (a
combination of urSu The Master and SkekSo The Emperor)
ZokZah (a
combination of urZah the Ritual Guardian and SkekZok The Ritual Master)
SilSol (a
combination of urSol The Chanter and SkekSil The Chamberlain)
AyukAmaj
(a combination of urAmaj The Cook, and, SkekAyuk The Gourmand)
NaNol (a
combination of urNol The Herbalist and SkekNa The Slave Master)
OkAc (a combinaiton of urAc The Scribe
and SkekOk The Scroll Keeper)
ShodYod
(a combination of urYod The Numerologist and SkekShod The Treasurer)
EktUtt (a
combination of urUtt The Weaver and SkekEkt The Ornamentalist)
In some of the background details of the film it is
noted that SkekAyuk and SkekNa,
and their mystic counterparts urAmaj and urNol are close friends. It might be noted that those two skekses actually have one thing in common, their heads were
both puppeteered left-handed.
It seems likely that the mystic billed as The Hunter,
might in fact be the one detailed in the background information as urNol The Herbalist.
Many of the Cast and crew appeared
in the documentary The World Of The Dark Crystal (first broadcast in
1983).
To advertise this big art puppetry film, as one might
expect involved the cast in television appearances. One, such (sometime between
September 1982 and June 1983 - not sure exactly when), on an episode of the BBC
TV Children’s magazine programme Blue Peter, involved
British puppeteers: David Barclay, Louise Gold, and, Mike
Quinn performing a bunch of Podlings doing their Podling Dance, and also featured The Ornamentalist Skeksis (SkekEkt), and, Fizzgig. Photographs of this appearance can be found in Blue
Peter Annual No 20.
Once a film is over people move on to other things,
and sometimes change career. Some twenty years later (by which time one of the Skeksis puppeteers was tap-dancing in the musical Follies at the Royal Festival Hall), it is
rumoured that one member of the creature fabrication unit had since become a
second-hand bookseller with one of the stalls under
Puppeteers: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave
Goelz, Steve Whitmire,
Louise Gold, and Kathryn Mullen, along with Jerry Nelson
were all veteran performers of The Muppet
Show, on which Brian Muehl and Bob Payne
also puppeteered. It had been filmed just down the
road at Elstree television studios.
Various other members of the crew had also worked on that legendary programme: Sherry Amott,
Barbara Davis, Faz Fazakas, Marianne Harmes, Cheryl Henson, Rollin Krewson, Tom
McLaughlin, Wendy Midner, Tim
Miller, Tim Rose, Polly Smith, and Amy Van Gilder,
built puppets; David Odell was a
writer; and David Lazer,
Malcolm Stone, and, Martin
Baker were also involved.
A number of the people
involved with this groundbreaking film had previously worked together on The Great Muppet Caper, which
was also shot at Elstree Film Studios. The puppeteers who had
previously worked on The Great Muppet
Caper were: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Louise Gold, Kathryn Mullen,
Brian Muhel,
Robert Barnett, Bob Payne, Mike Quinn, Hugh Spight,
and, Kirah Shah, along with Jerry
The team of puppet-builders assembled, in the former
postal-sorting office in Downshire Hill
to make the creatures for The Dark Crystal, went on to form the
nucleus of the animatronics workshop that became known (throughout the film
industry) as Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, and then to make the film Labyrinth. In effect (apart from some try-outs on Star
Wars) The Dark

and, Terry Jones) appear on the documentary Inside The Labyrinth.
Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Louise Gold, Steve Whitmire, Kathryn

technical innovation on the programme, built upon the work of Faz Fazakas and John Stephenson.

Barclay, and, Louise Gold, and
others from The Creature Shop went on to work on the film Alice In Wonderland,
whose production crew also included Gareth
Tandy.

The Count’s Countdown, although there
has been some debate as to whether Louise
Gold actually sang on it.
Louise Gold, and, Tim Rose appeared in the documentary The Wonderful World Of Puppets,
which specifically included a clip of Louise’s big puppeteering
moment (the banqueting scene) from this film.
Thick Wilson, who voiced
The Gourmand Skeksis, had back in March 1974 played Shorty in a revival of the musical Oh Kay at the Westminster
Theatre with Amanda Barrie as Kay.
Many years later, in 1997, that particular Skeksis’s
Principal puppeteer actually played the title role in an original script
concert staging of Oh Kay.
