E2: OBJECT, UNIVERSE & LIFE IN PERFORMANCE

Merlin Puppet Theatre

SPACE SIX

Monday 8th - Tuesday 9th April 2019

10am - 5pm daily

Ages 18+ / adults

£120

An approach to all three basic elements that contribute to making a complete visual universe - Object, Universe and Life. OBJECT - puppet, mask, shadows; UNIVERSE - scenography, light and sound; LIFE - how these elements become animate. An exploratory laboratory, which examines through analysis, practice and experimentations, how a harmonious puppetry performance is created. Through improvisations and research on stage individually and in groups, participants will work on how to develop and realise an idea, all the way from scratch to the final desirable result. See here for Merlin Puppet Theatre's show at the festival, "Noone's Land".
