Thoughts of Paper Theatre

At last I'm beginning to meddle around in the world of paper theatre, also known as toy theatre.....but in my mind it is simply the world of 'paintings that move'.



After a serendipidous conversation with the owner of a charming local wholefoods shop I have been granted permission to unleash my creativity into a window display and create a paper theatre-esque scene...which perhaps might occasionally become a theatre?
Pictures coming up, work in progress...

Blind Summit puppets

Myself and the other 2nd year puppetry students are working on puppets for what has been described as a 'ballet' based on Jack London's book Call of the Wild, which the puppetry company Blind Summit will be working on with Collaborative and Devised Theatre students in spring 2010.
It presently involves creating mask-like heads of all the animals mentioned in the book, using only cardboard, a glue gun and a scalpel! My present mission is to make a partridge....so far, so complex...
