'09. Hope you'll visit; comments & questions welcome. http://www.independenteye.org/news/index.html (No posting the first week of this past month, having been obsessed with the election.) #8 - Storyboard for Act 1 Sc. 1, the storm. #9 - Our first workshop with actors. Work on voice & its linkage with physical action. Shakespeare's realism with an expanded stylistic expression. Iambic pentameter's unkillable assertiveness. Making puppets breathe. #10 - Storyboard continues: Act 1 Sc. 2, Prospero & Miranda. #11 - The recurrences of the storm. A new puppet technique (if my lame wrist heals). And thoughts about the singular notion of casting Prospero as a male. Peace & joy- Conrad Bishop The Independent Eye, Ltd. ps - I'd especially appreciate any comments or wild ideas for improvements on the technique briefly illustrated in #11. Using it for just one puppet in our production of RASH ACTS in January, but I think it may have a lot of potential.for our larger-scale (about 3/4 lifesize) puppets. Also wondering how many of y'all do storyboards for new pieces. I've only just begun this, find it very useful, at least in getting the skeleton of the concept clear. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
