I enjoyed the fact that this performance presented the process of developing a project, I'm very much aware of the tension between "process" & "product" driven participatory projects and in my own work I continually evaluate who the the work is for - participants / myself / funding bodies / wider audience - of course its always a mixture of all of these, though I always come back to thinking if i'm working with marginalised groups then I don't have a right to exploit them for my own aims or monetary gain unless its on a level playing field.
Have just attended an extremely focused panel which addressed exactly what it said it would "puppets and human rights". All five speakers provided clear and inspiring example after example but each framework used was distinct. I was having trouble formulating my question so I'll place it here. Let's talk about puppets as an ORGANIC site of resistance to, not technology, but the mechanical/impersonal/global? The final speaker touched upon this with her alternative software programme to PowerPoint (TM)--which comprised a wooden box, cardboard, wire.
