R & D on Dinosaurs
by Charlie Tymms
This week I will be embarking on a voyage to discover how best to bring to life three prototype Dinosaur puppets, a T-Rex, a Brachiosaurus and a Compsognathus or Compy for short with the help of the master puppeteer/director Edie Edmundson and Ashleigh Cheadle.
We will be attempting to find out the shape of the play, the emotions and situations the dinosaurs might find themselves in and explore particular actions.
On Tuesday I will be in the Theatre checking if the puppets will fit and to try them out in the space, then on Wednesday and Thursday you will be able to see what we are up to through the windows of Art in the Docks Space at RAW.
