Workshop by Neville Tranter,
Stuffed Puppet Theatre, Holland:
The Power of the Puppet
In recent years European puppet theatre has been revolutionised by Neville Tranter’s productions, in which he focuses on the ultimate consequences in the dramatic dialogue between puppet and the manipulator and between the puppet and the actor. His plays create a strong impression with the audience and are also unique because of his interpretation and his vocal technique.
At the last Festival of Wonder Neville Tranter led a very successful workshop. We are pleased to announce that Neville Tranter will again give a two-day workshop in Silkeborg.
Participants in the workshop will work on ‘bringing the puppet to life’, manipulation, creating and performing a short scene which could include text and elementary musical instruments.
Each participant will bring a simple musical instrument, for example a flute or a percussion instrument, a monologue from a play, a poem and a song.
The participants will have the possibility of interaction with the puppet and with the other participants.
