Puppetual E.Motions
(The Show)
Acorn is picked by Witch!
Puppetual E. Motions is an international show comprising of selected Clown
pieces followed by two Puppet stories drawn from the imagination of Jonathon
Acorn.
CLOWN
A selection of clown pieces drawn from Acorns repertoire. Generally the
noisiest section of the show! Invoking much audience participation and
a basic understanding of the role of the clown in the theatre and society.
note: the clown pieces can be verbal and/or non-verbal.
"It's never too late to have a happy childhood" ... Tom Robbins
"Traditions run deep - clowns run fast!" ... Jonathon Acorn
Intermission
THE BOX
A young hero is called upon to save his beautiful lover from the clutches
of an old hag who has bewitched the young girl in to a jewelry box ballerina.
THE LETTER
Life is perfect for John until one day he receives a letter from his girlfriend.
It reads, "I don't love you anymore. Good-bye!"
Needless to say John is mortified and so decides to 'end it all'. However, this
is not as straightforward as one would think!!
(Scene from The Letter)
The styles of Puppetry in this show vary from glove puppets to a blend
of Bunraku and Rod Puppets.
Note: the puppet pieces are all non-verbal
The puppeteer is gate keeper to the worlds greatest nation ... Imagination!!
