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
10am - 5pm 1 day workshop for adults. This workshop encourages participants to explore how they might apply puppetry for connection in their own fields of work using curiosity, creativity and a bit courage! How do the essential elements of puppetry such as breath, rhythm and focus translate directly to therapeutic work? Similarly, principles like attunement, empathy and active listening translate beautifully from therapy to puppetry. This workshop will be of interest and accessible to people working with a range of different client groups including children and young people, people with disabilities and the elderly in a variety of settings.
