Learning to Move

After a guick jaunt down south to meet our newest puppeteers, I thought it was time to resume posting! Finishing up the photos from the Guild Meeting Swazzle performed at.


Guild member Mike Wick taught a workshop on hand puppet movement for the Guild. In this photo he was discussing using a prop with your hand puppet and ways you could move to get different actions: Comical, moving the prop in ways to garner laughter; Difficult, meaning ways to move that show the action is physically demanding and Simple, just moving in a natural way. Very cool.



Here he was talking about posture and walking. I can't really do this justice without video (someday!).



That's it for today. Sorry for the big gap in posts! I'll be MUCH better now that I'm back at home!
