Create and animate a life-size paper puppet. Build capacity for new relational, political, and poetic ways of being outside domination and control.
Participants build and animate their own life-size paper puppets and are taken through an emergent process that evokes material imagination, experiential solidarity, and an ecology of becoming. Welcome to a ritual of emergent kinship, a space of relational encounter, a philosophy of embodied responsiveness. Deep Puppetry is an applied puppetry approach in which engaging with a puppet as an autonomous partner uncovers new ways of relating that challenge systems of exclusion and domination while providing a rehearsal ground for imagining and enacting new futures. Through material embodiment in aesthetic space, we foster an orientation in which "otherness" is not a threat but a source of connection and learning.
Laura Geiger designs spaces of symbolic, somatic, and relational practices that help people move differently in the world.
My interdisciplinary practice bridges performance, relational therapeutics, somatics, and emergent spirituality. I guide people toward experiential truths that cannot be accessed through cognition alone. I use tools like puppetry, somatic attention, symbolic practice, dialogic encounter, and performance to co-create conditions where something more-than-known can emerge. Deep Puppetry lives at the edges where relationship remains possible without definition, collapse, or domination and as such fosters an orientation in which otherness is a source of connection and learning, dissolving the divisions that sustain exclusion and abjection. We rehearse liberation not as an abstract concept but as a deeply felt practice of mutuality.
