So I got the book back, just page turning through it now. Thinking what to put down first...
Here we go!

I began the first page with how I approach my work with puppets.

So Tom McCrory, the English movement tutor at Toi left this nugget to me.

1)

Me

So there's me, the Actor, the performer.
Have what you will.

In this instance... I AM THE FOCUS.

2)

The Object

Puppet, Object, whatever it is, a prop if you like.

In this instance... THE OBJECT IS THE FOCUS.

3)

The Object and Me.

Both the Object and myself are sharing the focus, we're working together if you like.

In the instance... I just said it... BOTH THE OBJECT AND I ARE THE FOCUS.


When I have worked with Puppets I subconsciously find myself asking the Object/Puppet...
What do you want to do? 
Where do you want to go?

I feel more connected with the object when I do this I find.

It may seem crazy, me talking to an Object, in reality I'm just talking to myself I guess.
However, the best do it.
And if I'm bringing it to life, I'm going to interact with it. It's only fair.

At the moment this is my approach, my framework.
It will probably change.
Comment with your thoughts/challenges/disagreements.

Rock it.
