In this clip, we're going to talk about le bon and story. If you think way back to the beginning of these clips, I talked about a movement style called le bon where there's different kinds of movement. Sometimes, I use this to make up stories. For instance, if I took 2 le bon terms, flick and glide. I made my puppet start flicking. I find a character with flicking. What's going on? She's walking down the street, she's happy, and then I make her start to glide. What story might that be? She's walking down the street, she's happy, she sees something that sends her to a different realm. It slides her back. Puppets do supernatural things. That's one way to think about the story.
