Group one's shadow puppet play was a surrealist dream sequence about a creatures night journey. The sequence begins with the creature crawling out of the mouth of a giant face. The use of scale in this opening image is particularly thoughtful. The creature continues to explore various natural landscapes such as mountainous terrain, bodies of water, and tall blades of foliage. The journey takes places against various colorful backdrops. The sequence ends with the creature crawling back into the mouth of the giant sleeping head.
Group One Effectively took the class on the journey with their mystical creature. They held the audiences attention through the creative use of the live body, puppet, props and colorful backdrops. The combination of these elements where placed to create an image of depth with background, middle ground and foreground. The structure of the play was generally y effective however, I did feel that there could have been more diversity in the action of the puppet in the middle section. However, overall the piece was creative, engaging and satisfying.
