Gravity From Above: Czech Marionette Carvers - Lenka Pavlíčková & Mirek Trejtnar (Automaton) (Trnka)

Since the world is locked up right now let's think about how to make puppets. And Czech marionettes are some of the true classics. In this exploration of Gravity From Above we visit two Czech wood carvers: Lenka Pavlíčková & Mirek Trejtnar. Lenka creates commissioned artistic puppets. And Mirek creates puppets and also teaches puppet making and performance through his workshops in Prague. For more information on Lenka's puppets contact her through her website: http://praguemarionette.com/ And for Mirek's workshops and puppets he has a site called Puppets in Prague: http://puppetsinprague.eu/ Czech out my Gravity From Above essay site for more artistic ideas involving puppetry, music, dance and other arts. https://gravityfromabove.wordpress.com/ Go to my second channel The Anadromist Here!!    / @theanadromist   And is my new channel just for my Georgian Life called Georgian Crossroads:    / @georgiancrossroads   The Anadromous Life essay site for more in depth ideas: https://theanadromist.wordpress.com/ And if you want to communicate with me use The Anadromous Life Facebook page.   / theanadromist   Support the GRAVITY FROM ABOVE DOCUMENTARY project!
