Course objectives
Main objective
To support trainees in their artistic thinking and their respective skills through daily puppet practice (in the mornings), and the development of models as a basis for stage writing and dramaturgical thinking (in the afternoons).
Specific objectives
- To discover and appropriate several elements of "mise en corps";
- Assess why and how these elements of "mise en corps" are beneficial to the realisation of the ongoing project;
- Perceive and analyse what the constraints specific to different puppet techniques impose or contribute to personal expressive tendencies;
- Gradually explore the spatial differences induced by the puppetry techniques approached during the training;
- Analyse weaknesses (dramaturgical contradictions, scenographic impossibilities, too many performers required, etc.) instead of judging them;
- Learn to understand the external questions raised about a work and to take them on board in order to deepen the reflection.
