Shorter Workshops
The Soul of the Puppet — Manipulation
A
performing workshop conducted by Eric Bass in which actors’ training
techniques are carried over into the puppet, and then differentiated
from the way in which an actor would use them. Emphasis is placed
on breathing disciplines and on improvisation. The class will use
puppets specially designed for the original exercises they will
participate in. This class may be taken in a three-hour lecture-demonstration
form, a one-week intensive, or a longer (two to four week) version.
Recommended for high school and college students. Maximum 20 students
per workshop.
The Sense of the Puppet — Design
A
design workshop given by Eric Bass which, from a perspective of creating
the puppet, defines the differences between the actor and actor’s
theater. In a three-hour class, students will explore lecture,
discussion, demonstration, and their own drawings; and the reasons for
and advantages of using puppets in theater. Emphasis is placed on
the use and understanding of metaphor as a theatrical device.
This workshop may be expanded into one in which actual puppets are
made. This might be done in a week’s workshop, under the right
conditions.
Recommended for high school and college students. Maximum 20 students
per workshop.
