Through exercises participants use their bodies, and
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
create new forms for puppetry and visual theatre.
