Tutor:

Jaroslav DOLEŽAL, Zdeněk HLAVÁČEK, Jitka MALOVANÁ

Synopsis:

Combining dramatic tasks with a technical solution for puppets and authorial realisation with documentation and link-up with the staging. The assignment includes familiarisation with the basic technological approaches (working with wood, plastic materials, forms, moulding, casting and laminating). Ongoing consultation on current set design projects as necessary.

Prerequisites:

1. Craftsmanship skills.

2. The ability to experiment.

Study Objectives:

Mastering the practical technical aspect to realising a production and related set design projects. Familiarisation with the basic technological procedures for working with the widest range of classical and modern materials and their use in dramatisation.

Outline and Syllabus:

Curriculum:

1. Working with wood, plastic materials, forms, moulding, casting and laminating.

2. Combining the ideas and practical side of a project, finding technological solutions.

3. Experimenting with non-traditional materials and developing new technological solutions.

4. Technological solutions to the relationship between actor, puppet, spectator.

Syllabus:

Authorial creation forms the basis for combining the ideas of set design tasks with their realisation in practice. It enriches the student?s technical subconscious and in so doing helps develop their range of knowledge, which can then be applied in other projects. A knowledge of different technologies expands the author?s range of instruments, which are the basis of further creative solutions.

A. Tománek: Puppet Forms

J. Král: Practical Technology of Puppets
