Artsbox, Objects, Stories and Puppets
In March we had two forums so we also welcomed Peter Morton, from Knuckle and Joint Theatre, to the
second session with his great Puppetry workshop. Peter demonstrated
some fun and interesting tasks on how to transform an ordinary object
into something creative and imaginative.
Rose, from Artwork, provided everyone with fliers and leaflets and a look into the new 'ArtsBox' concept. ArtsBox is an online dropbox service whereby you can link and collate any photos, videos or imagery to portfolio's, viewed by a Moderator.
Please see our earlier post on signing up to Artsbox here
Peter lead the creative activity...
Using Objects:
1. Pass around an object, eg; an umbrella, a book, a shoe
2. Each person had to respond with "This is not a ...","It is a ..." In which people were invited to think creatively of a different object instead, i.e; "This is not a shoe, this is a ship, sailing in the sea".
3. Change the object for new ideas.
4. Pass around again without repeating and of the previous objects already mentioned.
Secondly, Peter split the group in two to create our very own puppets, simply out of a mug and a dish cloth. The key was to:
1. Accentuate the body stance with detail to movement and breathing.
2. To establish a point of focus on the puppet from the puppeteer/puppeteers. This enables the audience to focus on the puppet.
3. Add an objective; a daily routine for the puppet to move to i.e. getting out of bed, getting dressed, etc.
4. Change the object and do the same.
The outcome of the sessions were great and we look forward to welcoming everyone to the future Forum sessions.

DISCOUNT THEATRE TICKETS
We are super excited to offer discounted tickets to this show for all forum participants at Quarterhouse, Folkestone.
Moon Project
Wed 23 Oct
Stillpoint Theatre
Directed by Paul Hodson & Emma Roberts
Two people suffer nostalgia for impossible futures:
Shahab yearns for home but cannot return.
Leila yearns for transcendence but cannot escape.
One day their lives collide and everything atomises. How do we recover, when, in a single moment, everything we thought we knew is blown into a billion pieces? A play about looking back at earth from the moon.
‘Deft, detailed theatre for the brain and heart’ Tim Crouch
Winner, Outstanding Theatre (Fringe Review, 2010)
