Snapshots: Creation and Play
T0
Three Scottish based artists with a passion for puppetry have each been given an award by Puppet Animation Scotland to create a piece of visual theatre. And anything goes... 1st half: Creative Opportunities - Edward's House of String, Cindy Derby (USA) She listens to the cold wind howling To the creaks and the splinters. Beneath his predictable footsteps. Don't you remember? She is still awake when Edward falls asleep in his bed. A twisted tale about a lonely man, Edward, and a mysterious string that helps thread together memories of his past. - Spoon Fed Ewan MacIntyre (Scotland) - Spoon Fed is a commentary on authority, peer pressure and the media. It is a journey through the dark adventure of finding one's true self. Freaks - Vision Mechanics (Scotland)
We'll make her one of us. A loving cup. A loving cup. They pass the cup around the wedding party each one takes a sip. We accept her! We accept her! One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble! 2nd half: Matthew Robins sings The Death of Flyboy, Sad Lucy and other stories Matthew Robins (England). Artist and musician, Matthew Robins, presents handcrafted lounge folklore complete with live musical accompaniment! His stories, told in song and with hand cut animations, are sometimes eerie, sometimes cheery but always endearingly eccentric. Amongst other romantic tales, Matthew recounts the poignant story of Flyboy - half-human, half-fly - trying to live a normal small town life despite the challenges of being faced with absurd episode upon absurd episode. Following a recent commission from the Waterfront in Belfast with the Ulster Orchestra and sell out shows at the Little Angel Theatre and Battersea Arts Centre in London, Matthew is currently creating new stories featuring the exploits of his strange and wonderful characters for the Barbican Arts Centre, London. He is also building puppets for the National Theatre's new production of Beauty and the Beast.
