The Mantis : an example of my puppetry process from design to performance

Process Demo - Design & Performance - Mantis from Esther de Monteflores on Vimeo.


I created this Mantis puppet for A Frayed Knot Circus' show The Vivarium.

I built two small-scale, cardboard prototypes of the Mantis head before constructing the final version in foam.

This was followed by a period of movement research with the puppet and, ultimately, putting it onstage in The Vivarium.
