king Lear
concept design
Taking inspiration from the Dada, Destijl, and Bauhaus Art Movements, these character designs were made almost entirely out of found, paper images.
My concept fuses elements of costume and puppetry for an experimental dance/circus performance. The plot of King Lear would be used as a framework to create an avante-garde, movement based spectacle. Excerpts from the original script, other poetry, music, etc. may be used to devise a new, abstract, minimal text. The choreography would be created through exploration with the costumes which alter the performers' range of motion. Chaos, absurdism, and automatism will guide the development of the work.
