Running up to performing our show at the Rosemary Branch Theatre last weekend, we spent a short residency there working on the lighting of Hopeful Monsters. With mentoring support from Sarah Wright, artistic director of Silent Tide & Curious School of Puppetry, associate artist of LAT & Kneehigh, we experimented with multiple corridors of light to create the side lighting that the creatures appear in and that conceals the puppeteers.
First steps in our plan to redevelop the show for local touring in the UK – stay tuned!
