Saturday April 9 * ONLINE at 1pm Eastern * REGISTER
In this lab we will explore the object as story device and the object as character support. Please bring a puppet.
Please bring cereal box type cardboard, a sharpie or easily seen marker & scissors.
Please also bring an object that could have a metaphorical meaning or evokes a personal experience.
Please bring an object that your character might use in their living space or something they might wear(or both).
Lab is a safe place where people brave theatrical exploration and mistakes are welcome.
"the only failure is not trying"
theater = Baptism by Fire.
Puppet Lab supports the development of works in progress: you can present work for feedback or direct others in lab to improvise parts/puzzle out specific scenes and how your show might work. Improvisation is central to our explorations.
Puppet Lab’s purpose is to be a hub for all those interested in puppet theater who would benefit from:
boosting creative power
honing puppet-manipulation skills
cross-pollinating ideas
receiving feedback about works in progress
building puppet community
Open to all levels of experience.
Rhizome Puppet Lab works to uphold community access: no one will be turned away for lack of funds. However, if you appreciate what we are doing and would like to contribute something (suggested donation $8) please do so.
