In June, Leverhulme Artist-in-Resident Mervyn Millar will be a guest artist at the 2017 National Puppetry Conference. In his workshop, ‘Signs of Life’:

‘Participants will work together towards the development of a new puppet theater piece – using objects and puppets – exploring psychological and neurological phenomena relating to the perception of life and consciousness. The process will include some dramaturgical work, developing ideas into scenes, and working on the scenes with focus on manipulation, intention, and working together. The workshop may include improvisation with and without puppets, working from scraps of dramatic and non-dramatic texts, movement or sound.’

You can apply for the conference on the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Centre website.
