PUPPETRY & PERFORMANCERobin Guiver
30 Nov – 01 Dec 2024
Robin: “This workshop will examine in depth the relationships between puppet, performer and audience, combining technical exercises with creative challenges. Vitally, we will ask why would we choose to use puppetry and when does it work best. Handspring’s principals of puppetry are a jumping off point for exploring a whole world of performing objects, actor-puppet relationships, and expressions of poetic metaphor. We will look at both solo and multi operator puppets. And not only will we look at what puppetry can do as an art form, but, like a mask, we will also examine what it can teach us about our creative process as a whole.”
Robin Guiver is an actor and puppeteer, who has been working professionally in the theatre and film world for nearly 20 years. His approach to puppetry combines his Lecoq-based training at LISPA with extensive work with Handspring Puppet Company as part of the original West End cast of War Horse, and later as a workshop facilitator for the company. From there he has honed his skills with collaborations in film, TV and Theatre in the UK.
In addition to his Performing in the West End, Robin has also worked with Complicite, Ad-Infinitum, the National Theatre, Gyre and Gimble and many others. Robin’s first work in film was as a Movement Artist on the award winning Gravity. Further projects include Creature FX puppetry with Neil Scanlan Studio on Star Wars ep VII, VIII and IX, Jurassic World and Solo. Under his own company, Performance FX, he has used puppets on the film sets of Tom and Jerry, the Fantastic Beasts films, The Little Mermaid and many others.
