Puppetry Performance is a weekend course which will examine some of the multiple forms of puppetry used across theatre and filmed productions. Participants will be introduced to hand, object, rod, tabletop, moving-mouth and Bunraku styles, and to the basic techniques used to animate a puppet.
On Day 1 we will explore the key attributes and principles used when bringing a puppet to life. We will begin with a puppet that requires no fabrication - the human hand - and develop a vocabulary for considering puppetry performance. From there we will progress to ever more slightly advanced puppets - object, sock, rod and table-top. We will create simplified versions of each and consider their unique performance elements.
On Day 2 we will continue the exploration and advance to working in groups, creating and performing with a 2-person moving-mouth style puppet and ending our exploration with a three-person Bunraku-style puppet.
