Towards an asocial interplay of source-animated characters.
Using paratheatre methods we will access a variety of internal sources to animate physical characterizations with innate movement signatures, dominant conditions, walks, and masks. We will then structure dynamic interactions between characters, not as improvisation (as commonly known in theatre and dance) but, as an asocial interplay of source-animated characters. Though this experiment has potential for public performance, this Characters Lab will be approached as a non-performance workshop. If our work achieves a performance standard, where we begin to communicate something of relevance, a performance vehicle will be negotiated.
