Purcell-Gates, L (2014) Monstrous bodies: using puppetry to engage with perceptions of disability. In: Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) Conference - Dream Acts: Performance as Refuge, Resistance, and Renewal, 24-27 July 2014, Scottsdale, AZ, US.
Abstract
This presentation explores techniques developed as part of a UK-based project on ‘monstrous bodies’ that explores puppetry as enacting social change around perceptions of disability. The project uses Bunraku-style direct-manipulation puppetry to engage with alternate ways of perceiving and performing the disabled body.
