inside the dome exterior.

2009

Construction of this puppet began with the Free Sheep Foundation window installation at 3rd/Battery Oct-Jan 2008. Its form continues to grow and transform, and its articulation (large, heavy arms attached at the neck) mean to restrict movement and require the arms to swing and gain momentum for movement.

The puppet moves in response to his fantastical habitat: the documented Moore Theatre dome exterior (Inside Out). While inhabiting the space of the dome, the puppet's actions progress first as a response to the disorienting vertigo as he looses balance. Then he begins to hop, gaining momentum to dance, then headbanging to an imagined rock concert in the Moore. Finally, the puppet exhausts himself before collapsing out of the scene. Full animation length, 8 minutes.

 

The Moore Theatre Inside Out

Moore Inside Out will present new, site specific and experimental works from Seattle’s most innovative artists throughout the venue including non-public places.

The Moore, Seattle’s oldest operating theatre, will be turned “inside out” as the public explores over 50 performance, visual, and musical artists performing an artistic intervention throughout the facility – backstage, through the halls, and up the balconies; artists will be exploring the layers of meaning and possibility of this historic place.

 This massive structure is the outside of the beautiful Moore Theatre Dome. "Inside the Dome Exterior" examines fragments of an architectural space, digitally composited to reconstruct the space from both human and digital memory. The Moore Theatre dome exterior is an enclosed space, accessible only to those who maintain the theatre. Access to the dome exterior requires climbing 30' into the "fly space" of the theatre where the hemp/pulley system is operated. The entrance is merely a crack in the wall. Navigating the space has a precarious effect, equally disorienting as the space beneath the dome: the top balcony. Metaphorically, the dome exterior functions as the infrastructure for the unseen, the intangible and mysterious side of human imagination and reason.
