Deep Puppetry January clinic
January 19
5:30pm - 7:30pm Central European
11:30am - 1:30pm Eastern US
8:30am - 10:30am Pacific
We will explore some of the ways in which a puppet is a stand-in or extra body for the animator, allowing access to somatic and embodiment practice that might otherwise be challenging. Further, we will play with a foundational neurodevelopmental repatterning exercise using the puppet as self. Does this body I have created help me occupy my own body? Does the work done as the "not me" transfer its impact back to me? What could be the implications of such a process?
Whether you're wanting to try Deep Puppetry for the first time or would like more opportunities to practice together with other people, come to the clinic! We will create a puppet and move through a series of guided animation methods, breakout reflections, and group discussions. In Deep Puppetry, we explore the animation of objects as a personal process to develop new ways of being and relating that reject othering, abjection, domination, and control.
As part of this capacity building and developing new relationality, we leave plenty of room for what wants to emerge from this practice. Deep Puppetry is not results-oriented but deeply generative and experiential.
You will need six to eight sheets of newspaper and a roll of masking tape.
