 Stephen Mottram - Grait Britain
Stephen Mottram is recognized as one of the most important puppet maker and performer of string puppets.
His philosophy is based on respecting the essentiality of a string puppet, primarily due to a movement “agreed” between two adverse energies: the strength of gravity and the human hand.
He has already held workshops on marionette design and construction all around the world; the latest at the Institut International de la Marionnette of Charleville Mezieres, the most important school on puppet theatre in the world. There, he also performed during the World Festival of Puppet Theater in 2009.
He began to work with a troupe of traditional puppets performing shows in which puppets mimed real actors. Then he won a scholarship to attend the Hungarian State Puppets Theatre
School in Budapest and this experience opened his eyes to the great potential of this form of art and theatre in general.
