This course explores puppetry, both contemporary and historical, as a means of interpreting texts using visual means. Projects will be designed to stimulate the visual imagination; develop sensitivity to the expressive nature of the theatrical mise-en-scene as it relates to puppet design, including puppet movement and gesture; apply principles of design and composition to a variety of historical styles of puppetry including shadow, rod, and masked performer; and adapt text for the puppet theater.

MAJOR READINGS

Reading will be selected from a wide variety
of sources, which might include: Greek tragedies,
Shakespearean sonnets, newspapers, contemporary poetry and
prose, popular songs, or scientific papers.
