New Scripts, new puppets, new techniques in puppetry
E.g. The Table
We began with a puppet Goldstein from our rehearsals for 1984. Then we did:
3 weeks WORKSHOPPING to develop a new puppetry concept - a puppet "Moses" on a table explaining how puppetry works
3 weeks MAKING to adapt the puppet
4 WRITING periods
2 weeks puppet TRAINING
13 weeks DEVISING REHEARSALS over 2 years
We make our work through a a process of trial and error, in the workshop and rehearsal room.
To make a show we need to work out the relationship between the characters in the story, the puppets and the puppeteers...
