Subject: [Puptcrit] Tempest Weblog


Hello-

We've begun a weekly journal on our creation of a live theatrical 
animation (with puppets) of Shakespeare's The Tempest, spanning the 
next 13 months, produced by Sonoma County Repertory and The 
Independent Eye. 

I'm posting monthly summaries, in hopes that you'll visit this weblog 
at http://www.independenteye.org/news/index.html.  It includes 
sketches and, in the future, audio & video.  Please add comments: we 
very much welcome response at every stage of the trek.

Tempest #3 - 10/1:
	Elizabethan hats & power suits.  Preparing rehearsals, 
story-boarding improvisations.  Sea-change projections.  Miranda's 
nose.  Clown feet.  Kantor's presence.  Caliban in baseball cap? 
Prospero's exhaustion.  Goddesses as foliage.

Tempest #2 - 9/14:
	"Delicate" Ariel as fire and hurricane.  A castrated Caliban? 
Shadows and the challenge of organic gesture.  The island as 
Prospero's dream, a shifting visual field of alien backwaters.

Tempest #1 - 9/7:
	Born of a grant application.  Shakespeare and puppets.  First 
sketches.  Prospero as colonizer, master of ceremonies, or victim 
with absolute power?  Aristophanic vision. 

Peace & joy-

Conrad Bishop
The Independent Eye
