Micro Cinema Theatre – Master Class with Gavin Glover

For puppeteers, actors, musicians, film makers, film animators, writers and directors (students and professionals)

Sold out

From Monday, March  6, 2017 to Wednesday, March 8, 2017
From 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and to 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

 

By using video and cctv cameras, projectors and simple technology, we can explore objects, puppets and the human body to discover a new type of cinema. Combining these discoveries with the more traditional forms of performance, we can create ‘Micro Cinema Theatre’.

During this practical workshop we will be using a multitude of objects and materials and constructing environments to film and improvising performance.

We will explore hidden movements and unlock tiny details that are normally lost in a theatre space and we will play with scale, focus, light, sound and music and explore 2 and 3 dimensional worlds. Some objects have more metaphor and meaning than others so we will try to discover which materials work best for the story we are trying to tell.

Number of participants: 12
