Filled with magic, intrigue and sports, the puppet show targets young children ages 5-12 with the message of cleaniliness and good hygiene. This show was the first project in an initiative of WASH United to promote the washing of hands as a simple and effective way of preventing diarrhoea among childrenAs a fellow on the project, my task was to create a mobile, knock-down set and stands that can be part of a touring production. I created set pieces, a stage that can be assembled in under an hour and also promotional material for the project. The production will travel to villages and towns in northern India in late 2012. http://ruchitamadhok.com/Tracking-Shot http://ruchitamadhok.com/following/ruchitamadhok.com/Tracking-Shot Fri, 27 Apr 2012 06:33:25 +0000 Ruchita Madhok 3290091 <img src="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-01.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-01_o.jpg" data-mid="16873612" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-02.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-02_o.jpg" data-mid="16873614" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-03.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-03_o.jpg" data-mid="16873779" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-04_720.jpg" width="720" height="400" width_o="720" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-04_o.jpg" data-mid="16873617" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-05.jpg" width="534" height="400" width_o="534" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-05_o.jpg" data-mid="16873618" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-06.jpg" width="534" height="400" width_o="534" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload49.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/3290091/tracking-shot-06_o.jpg" data-mid="16873619" border="0" align="left"/>An original visual theatre performance created in residency at Villa Nappi, Associazione Inteatro, Polverigi, Italy in collaboration with the students of the MA Performance Design and Practice programme at Central Saint Martins, London.Duration: 40minLanguage: ItalianTracking Shot is a filmic journey through the life and on-screen career of an ageing Italian actress Monica. She is ill and dying but she comes to her old director – with a request for him to re-edit the end scene of a film they made together 30 years earlier. The lead actor playing opposite her in the film was the only man she ever loved off-screen but before she could tell him how she felt, he died. She wants to change the end of the last film they made together because in doing so she hopes to find resolution.In performance, the audience of 6 travels through a series of film scenes that Monica has acted in over the span of her career. She tells us the story of her life in snippets of filmic dialogue, between voiceovers and in the film itself that she wants to change. A wagon containing the audience and the “point-of-view” as it were, physically moves forwards, backwards and pans left and right in the simulation of a camera frame. The soundtrack and music are delivered to the audience via individual headphones located in their seats providing a sealed, hermetic sensory expereince.The “scenes” meanwhile assemble and disintegrate in the empty space around the wagon allowing the viewing frame of the wagon to montage them together.To find out more about the process and see a video of the performance in Italian, do visit the project blog at http://trackingshottheperformance.blogspot.com/,/p. http://ruchitamadhok.com/Liminel http://ruchitamadhok.com/following/ruchitamadhok.com/Liminel Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:45:10 +0000 Ruchita Madhok 1107188 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-01.jpg" width="520" height="480" width_o="520" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-01_o.jpg" data-mid="5747627" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-05.jpg" width="614" height="480" width_o="614" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-05_o.jpg" data-mid="5747635" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-02.jpg" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-02_o.jpg" data-mid="5747630" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-04.jpg" width="620" height="480" width_o="620" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-04_o.jpg" data-mid="5747634" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-06_720.jpg" width="720" height="480" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-06_o.jpg" data-mid="5747636" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-05.jpg" width="614" height="480" width_o="614" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69703/1107188/c-liminel-05_o.jpg" data-mid="5747635" border="0" align="left"/> I envisaged Liminel to be a space between worlds - a resto-lounge that straddled the boundaries between the real and virtual and calls on its occupants to be both performers and the audience in an interactive environment. Upon entering Liminel inhabitants "log-in" with virutal shadow puppet avtaars that enter the physical space with them. Appearing alongside the person on the curtain-like walls of Liminel, the shadow puppet responds to its owner's bio-chemical rhythms - at times in tune with the person's outward behaviour, and completely different at other moments. The images above describe the spatial and geographical construct of Liminel while the video below is an animated illustration of the experience inside it.
