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".
TEENY TINY TOON
Teeny Tiny Toon is a celebration of Newcastle and its people, told through puppetry.
Moving Parts Arts aims to create a city of puppetry by telling the stories of Newcastle residents. We begin this journey in 2022/2023 with residents living in Benwell and Scotswood before moving around the city to reach more people in the years to come. 100s of Benwell & Scotswood residents and 3 artists will be paired up in workshops to co-create puppets to share stories and experiences of living in the area. Featuring artwork by Becky Musgrove.
