Heaven on a Biscuit, an extended portrait of Hip Pocket Theatre, was first exhibited at the Arlington Museum of Art in 2004. The full exhibit is currently on display in the Gallery at the Central Library through January 2006 as part of a major exhibit celebrating the history of Hip Pocket Theatre. The Theatre will display costumes, puppets and props as part of a retrospective of its thirty years in Fort Worth.

In 2001, Loli Kantor made a career change to pursue photography as a vocation working with local arts organizations and as an exhibiting artist. Her interest in documenting theatre and performance arts led to this five-year photo documentary of the Hip Pocket Theatre in Fort Worth.

She is an active member of group f.8, a Fort Worth photography cooperative. To date, most of her work focuses on the creative process of varied art forms, especially dance, live theatre and puppetry. Kantor also photographs subjects that have to do with her past as a daughter of Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors, and her ties to Central Europe and Israel, where she travels constantly.

“Kantor’s project is an event in itself, an outpouring of soul-capturing documentary brilliance that manages to convey roughly equal measures of poignancy and rambunctiousness while serving as a straightforward account of the Southwest’s most adventurous theatrical troupe.” -Fort Worth Business Press
