DISCOVER YOUR BODY AS A PUPPET
Hand Puppetry is one of the oldest forms of puppetry,
and traditionally one of the most irreverent. The Naked Hand &
Hand Puppetry Workshop aims to introduce participants to
Hand Puppet making, manipulation, creation and performance.
The workshop begins with an introduction to traditional
disassociation exercises, then applies these techniques
to physical theatre. After an introduction to basic manipulation
techniques including: fixed-point, eye-line, isolation, and
posture, participants will develop character gestures such as:
walks, sitting, sleeping, climbing, flying, sneezing, etc and build
unique characters for their puppets.
Improvisation exercises will explore how we can use our bodies
to tell stories, use body parts to create puppets, create
environments for hand and naked hand puppets, and how we
can use our hands as puppets and performers together to
create short scenes.
Bring:
Hand Puppets – if you have any
Water for drinking
Comfortable clothing – preferably black
A musical instrument – if you have one
