Learning to operate the head of the Ballerina has been an intensive puppet experience! After watching the video i knew it would be difficult, but in practice it's even harder. A lot of it is about performing up to speed with the music. But I feel really good about our Ballerina team (they've been so helpful and patient). And i think i've finally moved past just remembering the steps to really addressing the intricacies of momentum and dynamics. And knowing that i can really manhandle that puppet to make her look good!
We trained Lindsay in on the head yesterday. See the picture ......
