Disclosure · what is sharednone
Two puppets and two puppeteers. The puppets may speak but not move; the puppeteers move them by physically shifting, turning and leading their bodies, and should keep them moving regularly. The puppets do not have to fall if the puppeteers have left them somewhere it would be physically reasonable not to.
Hold with care
- One person's body is moved by another for the length of the scene, including being turned and led; consent about handling needs establishing first and the source does not raise it
- The puppet can speak but cannot move, so they cannot easily signal discomfort physically — agree a word that stops it
