The Logic of Movement Master Class

Stephen Mottram (England)

Friday 25 - Saturday 26 January 9.30am – 5.00pm

An intensive two day master class for established professional puppeteers and would-be practitioners committed to developing their skills and expertise led by Stephen Mottram (Artistic Director, Animata)

This practical master class will explore in depth why people and things move in the way they do, and how understanding this helps the puppeteer and other stage practitioners to express ideas more successfully through visual means to an audience. During these two days participants will develop conscious approaches to creating vivid and credible movement with puppets and identify key issues about communication through movement

Stephen Mottram is an artist, craftsman and puppeteer. Since 1988 he has developed a unique theatrical language that creates a vivid symbiosis between electro-accoustic music and the power of movement as image. His productions – The Seed Carriers, In Suspension and Organillo are the results of detailed collaboration with the composers with whom Stephen works, and have been acclaimed by audiences all over the world. Stephen has also worked on a number of films, including The Little Shop of Horrors, Tales from the Decameron and Strings
