Description

The Maker's Forum - Sustainability in Process

The Maker’s Forum brings together a group of stakeholders that contribute to the process of creating a puppetry performance, or a performance with objects.

Over the last nine months, our Maker - Loo An Ni, Physiotherapist Consultant - Choong Li Sann, Puppeteer Consultant - Oliver Chong, Researcher-educator - Liang Peilin and Programme Manager - Daniel Sim have worked together to examine the designs and makes of puppets to become more sustainable for puppeteers, makers and creatives.

Building upon the consultation sessions, this forum is a critical reflection of our artmaking processes that seeks to answer the following questions:

  • How can the process of performance-making be more sustainable through deepening the understanding of the roles of the puppeteers, makers and creatives?
  • What should makers and designers be mindful of when making and designing for a puppetry performance, to ensure sensitivity towards the puppeteer’s or puppet’s movements?
  • How can puppeteers and performers be better informed in the way they move and work with puppets?

Join us in creating a more sustainable practice. The session is free to attend.
