Overview of the Project:
Tom Lee, a Chicago and NYC based director, designer and puppeteer, will work with the students in my Performance Improvisation class for two sessions in the Fall 2019 term. During his first visit, (9/12, Tom will introduce students to concepts of puppetry, using butcher paper as a design element to consider while composing movement improvisation. The students will be tasked with undertaking improvisational research with paper, while examining the possibilities offered by unfamiliar forms. He will visit the class prior to our performance and live-stream at The Duderstadt Video and Performance Studio.
