“Inspiring Puppetry Musical” – Preview 5: Designing the Puppets
“Sophia Lovell Smith’s rod puppets don impressively intricate costumes and are controlled by Calkin and Wood with pin-point precision and distinctive choreography that lends each character a unique personality.“
The Stage
This week Sophia Lovell Smith talks to us about Designing the Puppets. Each of our powerful STEM Sisters comes from a different time period, and Sophia brings those different styles, as well as an element of each STEM Sister’s skills and knowledge, into their costume: Computer Programmer Ada Lovelace has computer punch cards in her crinoline, and astronomer Hyaptia has stars in her skirt. What other character-defining elements can you see in our other STEM Sisters costumes?
Why not make an event of it and share this with your friends and family?
