THE HIDDEN BODY
Through exercises participants use their bodies, objects, and
puppet parts to create new forms for puppetry and visual theatre.
In group exercises we investigate, how to create the
illusion of form, how to transform existing shapes to
create new forms, invisible bodies, and how to
manipulate puppets of different styles to alter our
perceptions.
The workshop begins with an introduction to Puppetry
techniques, co-ordination, disassociation, focus, and direction
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 puppets using their
bodies and puppet components.
Improvisation exercises will explore how we can use our bodies
to tell stories, use our whole bodies alone or with other bodies to
create puppets, and how together we can create movement
patterns, rituals, focus, tempo shifts,
and new physical dynamics as a group.
Bring:
Broken Puppets or dolls – if you have any
Black fabric
An apple or orange
A skewer
Water for drinking
Comfortable clothing – preferably black
A musical instrument – if you have one
