Paper is a delightful material in the realm of the performing arts. It lends itself perfectly to scale – as backdrop, as decoration, as prop and as kinetic wonder. It can be worn and it can be made to perform – to dance, to sing, to pirouette and be calisthenic. It is one of the most eloquent materials from ancient times – from massive kites to Ravanas at Dussehra, from dramatic dragons in the Chinese New Year to masks in Kabuki and Cherial Theatre Paper masks, from giant paper puppets to complex pop-up sets made of paper constructions, it is a veritable cornucopia overflowing with magic and wonder. Paper acts as beautiful bridge between the visual and performing arts.
