Meeting 2

Our second meeting took place on the 12th of june, 2017, at the RCSSD´s Puppetry Studio, with the following presents:

Cariad Astles
Chusi Amoros
Marie Klimis
Mario Piragibe
Valéria Gianechini

First, it was discussed topics about objective arrangements, like the booking of a larger workroom for practical studies and the use of a CSSD camera for recording the meetings. It was also agreed that our next presencial meeting would happen on the first week of July, in date and time yet to be confirmed through email exchange.

It was also decided that our next meeting would be a pratical study on the topic (chosen from three provided) of the focalization of the eye (glance, look) as a technique for the puppeteer. In the meantime, the group will conduct a discussion on the matter from the blog, also inviting the eventual reader to participate in the comment session.

As a first attempt to begin the discussion, it was appointed some initial supporting articles, that  are also meant to take part in a larger list of referential works for the studygroup. Group members and readers are invited to appoint any other material that could be of use.
