| Note: | The puppetry workshop was designed for artists, teachers, therapists and anyone with an interest in applied puppetry. It looks at how puppetry might be used to explore monstrosity whilst asking the questions, what is a 'monster' today? And why do we need monsters? The demo and discussion brought together Wattle & Daub and the Performance Research Centre at Bath Spa University with students from the Medical Humanities programme at the University of Bristol and Professor Judith Hawley from Royal Holloway, University of London. There was a programme of demonstrations and debates that crossed the boundaries of science, art, literature, music and puppetry. |
