Practising with the puppet

We started practising the manipulation of the puppets. We used the green room and learnt some movement methods with Sean. 

The first thing that we learnt was the angle of the eyes and how to make sure that we are holding them at the right angle to make sure that we could direct the eyes of the puppets onto each other. This was important to learn so that the audience can understand and follow the attention of the puppets. 

We developed ideas of interactions with each puppet with the puppeteer and then tried to manipulate the puppets by interacting them together. Sean gave us situations to act out with the puppets which involved them being by themselves and then interacting with each other. 

The next method we tried was to walk the puppets from the door over to the table. Figuring out how we could travel with the puppets.
