The Puppeteer's Ballet



I wanted this piece to look and feel like a Flash Mob.  I chose the court yard in front of The Joe because it's a very public place that can be viewed by passersby and students inside the actual building.  I was so excited that we caught a few people’s attention and ended up with an audience!  It would be interesting to see what would happen if we had performed it at a more busy time. 

The artsy fartsy explanation of the title is that all my classmates were puppets in my ballet.  The only moment they got to break away from my confining instructions were the moments they got to switch places with each other in the circle and Pinocchio music played.

I will probably edit this project again so that the script is even more specific.  I think the project could have benefited from more moments that said “1, 2, 3, GO” and “1, 2, 3, STOP”.  I hope to use this project as a team building exercise in future career pursuits.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING! :)
