End-of-course presentation on “muppet”

At the end of a four-week course devoted to the “muppet” technique, the students will present the work they have done under the guidance of Einat Landais for construction and Neville Tranter for acting and manipulation.

During this course, students will have gone through all the steps: from choosing a character to making a glove puppet with an articulated mouth, then performing and manipulating it with and without text. 

Ce parcours les invitera à interroger et explorer comment la présence et la manipulation des marionnettes affectent le public, comment marionnette et marionnettiste peuvent interchanger leurs rôles (qui est au service de qui ?) ainsi que les différences entre le « langage corporel » de la marionnette et celui du marionnettiste.
