Here is a little playlist for you to feast on Click
A few weeks ago I said that we may be biting off more than we could chew, but I actually feel a little bit embarrassed now. We are getting there, each day we work on the puppets we get closer and closer, the puppets are starting to come together and even though I know that I have not been the one that has helped the most with the puppet making in some aspects I do feel accomplished, I feel like we have all worked hard for this and that when we are done(its still a very long shot from here) we will be proud to say that we did it. Yesterday we also went to see a couple of plays, one was a peruvian play that I liked but did not enjoy and that I will go as far as say that even though I did like the actions, I found it hard to understand because it was a little bit confusing, a thing that I totally hated was the seating of that particular auditorium, I always have the same problem when we go there it is like they make the seats for people half my size(I am a big boy) and I can't never fit in there. The second play was great, it was a mexican play called "Mas pequeños que el Guggenheim" the only thing I can say is that it is my kind of play, lots of funny dialogue, common expressions, pop culture references, good music and a little pinch of drama, I loved it and I almost went again today but I had no time, if I get he chance to go again someday I definitely will.
Going back to the puppets I want to say again that the puppets are working better each time and also now that we already have the structure of the puppets ready we had some time to experiment and explore with them and they are coming together perfectly. Going back again to another blog where I spoke about the body as a tool, I realize that it can not only be used with the mask but also with the puppets, using the puppets as an extension of your body, this is a way to connect the puppet and the puppeteer and make the puppets movements very natural.
As of right now I'm starting to feel a little bit more confident about the puppets and I am starting to realize that maybe we could think of more ways to do puppets and try to incorporate them in the play but only if we have time, but is it too risky to do this? Are we really biting off more than we can chew or are we ready for a bigger bite?
Santiago, this is a totally useless entry: too heavy on the emotional side, and too superficial in terms of comments. Virtually no analysis or connections, and barely any evidence of learning. You really have to dedicate much more time to your blog entries, and follow the process of description, analysis, synthesis and reflection.
