Homophobia. A project for a community. Old age, difference and prejudice. This project is based on moves to allow elderly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual people to remain "out" in the care community. By using puppet theatre to attack prejudice the aim is to expose positive and negative ideas within the group.
Highlights
- The issues for a story: the six block story structure to explore concepts of location in space, desires, problems, helpers and resolution.
- The story. Explored with lip-sync puppets depicting characters and their interactions.
-
Rethinking the issues with puppets. "Watching, witnessing and
rewinding." Acting out the story with puppets - the sad scenario, then stopping and building alternatives.
- Both groups perform to each other.
