Body, scale, materials and other dramaturgy themes for puppets
12 years ago, Javier Swedzky started giving dramaturgy workshops for puppets and objects. The pedagogical situation made him reflect on some elements that, for him, are constitutive of the poetics of writing for puppets, whether written or scenic dramaturgy. In this conference, he will take a look at some of these provocative ideas.
