INTERVIEW: Art Grueneberger pt. 4

How did you workshop the puppets with their puppeteers? Did you all just get
together and play or were there particular excersises you did?

There are a bunch of exercises I've developed as a result of this production process. All of them have the goals of refining and defining good puppetry and just keeping the puppets in the casts' hands. I used some of Ann Bogart's "Viewpoints" techniques and I also used some of Michael Chekhov's acting techniques (from his book "To The Actor"). I find that his process really lends itself to puppetry.
