Black Theatre
By Coad Canada Puppets
Black Theatre is a staging technique which uses ordinary
incandescent light channelled into a carefully controlled flat, vertical
beam or
'light curtain.'
The advantage of Black Theatre is the puppets are no longer bound to the
stage floor and can move freely in the vertical
as well as horizontal
planes, and can appear or vanish with ease. This technique is well
explained and clearly diagrammed with sections
covering: What is Black
Theatre? Light - the Basis of Black Theatre, Backdrop and Manipulators'
Costume, Scrim, Scenery, Stage,
Puppets, and Manipulation.
