Imago: A movement masterclass with Oliver Smart


The creation of Dragonfly - Imago will be exploited as a tool to uncover how the medium of puppetry can be employed within mechanical prototyping, design and animation.

Oliver’s process treats the subject within nature as a complex, mechanical/poetic text which through annotated observation and physical expression will allow a dynamic shifting essence of itself to be communicated.

The considerations of interface, communication and empathy have been rooted at the centre of puppetry practise for many thousands of years.

The object is liberated from the functional and in this freedom can express life.

Saturday 21 September
10am - 1pm
Circus Gallery, 58 Marylebone High St, London, W1U 5HT

IDEAS MOVING IDEAS

Imago - A dragonfly in motion

This exhibition of Oliver Smart's work celebrates the exquisite wonder of the dragonfly.
Circus Gallery, W1U 5HT, on now until 26th September.
The exhibition will feature within The London Design Festival 2019 with a series of events including a masterclass and a panel discussion on the connectivity between Art and Science.

MRI Space Shuttle

Our collaboration with Eva Loth (Senior Lecturer in Psychology) at the Sackler Institute of Translational Neurodevelopment, Kings College London, goes from strength to strength; with the workshop busy creating four more of our MRI Space Shuttle environments as a central component for a future pan-European study into the brain development of pre-school children on the Autism spectrum.

Puppet Psychotherapy

Murmerations: Journal of Transformative Systemic Practice has published online a film interview between the Systemic Psychotherapist Mark Huhnen and some of our most colourful characters.
They discuss their relationship to themselves, their audiences and reveal how they understand their existence.

Hot Chip "Spell"

We jumped at another opportunity to work with director Simon Owens, this time by coordinating the puppetry and object animation for this piece of music-video-art where a bedroom comes to life in malevolence towards a couple with romantic intentions.
Artist - Hot Chip
Director - Simon Owens
Producer - Georgia Rose
Puppeteers - Oliver Smart, Choe Purcell, Oliver Hymans.
Cast - Rose Lucas, Mattia Sonnino
