A geometric form is more than a mathematical extrapolation. It is, the basis of all creative works in allowing significance of meaning ranging from an imagined cosmos to the gravity of terrestrial imposition. By essentiating the 'geometric', its individual distinctiveness can reveal the nature of the dramatis-personae of corresponding Puppets.
The Collaborative will commence with analysis of geometry and stereometry. Working progressively to incite dramatic visual and literary occurrence, the construction of seven primary geometric forms will give rise to seven Puppets. Participants will be encouraged to discover character in their characterless; spirit in their spiritlessness, distinction in their undistinguished actuality, place in their placelessness revealing Voice and Temperament in Puppet-telling.
Behind the rational factors on which each Puppet is based, stands stalwart demonstrations of Intuitive Imagination pivotal in determining its decisive adventures. Sound effects are not required. Hands and feet are not necessary. Puppet speech, may simply be a silent open stare. Dressed as characters, they are of a modified form, that can call out cogent interpositions within the currency of covenantal harmony.
A real 'thing', a Puppet, does not consist solely of what is seen at any particular moment. It is, rather, composed of the sum of all its various and changing conditions - from its appearance in material form to its disappearance upon entering the immaterial realm of memory. The sum total of its transmutations can exist for eternity as offshoots or 'emanations'; always rational in dialogic extrapolations, never vacuous as mere decorative entertainments. Their metaphoric impersonations, are recognizable as ageless emanations and variations ... such as the Pinocchio, Sultans Elephant, Punch or Judy, Kukla and Ollie, or Elmo.
The primary 'dramatis-personae' of the Puppets addressed in this collaborative will serve as examples in various exercises. The initially proposed Puppets will be: Pharaoh the Tetrahedron; Spinner the Octahedron; Flyer the Icosahedron; Constrictor the Cube; Covenanter, the Dodecahedron; Diviner the Trapezoidhedron; and Seshat-maat the Sphere. The objective of the workshop will be the completion of seven character Puppets in Puppet-telling, culminating either in performance, script or pop-up book.
The cartographic landscape for the exploration of Puppetries 'Geometry and Stereometry is the Scriptorium or 'HOUSE OF BOOKS'. Its resources, vast and multivalent, will aide symbolic bias and characterization for the dramatis-personae in their unique relation to Geometry, Occupation and Confession of Temperament.
