This newer phase of Deep Puppetry™ is quieter, stranger, more playful, and more spacious than earlier versions of the work.

I’m interested in what happens when figures, materials, movement, and relation are allowed to remain slightly unfinished:
not fully interpreted,
not fully resolved,
not fully known.

Working with simple materials, sparse structures, improvisation, and guided interaction, we’ll explore:

• contact before coherence

• relational attention

• projection and otherness

• awkwardness, tenderness, and animation

• movement and language before they fully settle

• allowing ourselves to be affected without immediately organizing what we encounter into understanding

The atmosphere is less performative than earlier iterations of DP and more like a shared artistic studio: a place for experimentation, perception, play, and relational encounter.

Figures are approached less as characters and more as unstable relational presences.

At times the work may feel:

• intimate

• absurd

• quietly disorienting

• playful

• unexpectedly moving

Over four weeks, we’ll work through short relational scores and live studio experiments such as:

• Almost Someone

• One Touch

• Stay Nearby

• Speak Before It Settles

• Care Without Rescue

• Let It Refuse

• Wrong Distance

• Shared Attention

The work unfolds through small repetitions, interruptions, awkward continuities, and return. We aren’t moving through mastery or interpretation but through perceptual refinement inside relation itself.
