​
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".

Description
Marionettes controlled by webs of strings, extraordinary music and a wicked sense of humour... Working in full view of the audience on a small open stage with string puppets, Stephen Mottram lures his audiences into an unexpected and magical experience. The specially composed music cocoons Mottram’s hypnotic choreography, to create strongly atmospheric theatre, which haunts audiences long after the puppets have been packed away.
