initial idea

After being put in to our group the general consensuses from the group was that we wanted to do something that demonstrated the atmosphere of the riot and the goose fair that would have going on at the time. We like the idea of having a large puppet that would be involved in gathering people and mocking the idea of the vote and mainly being part of the goose fair.

initially we wanted a large puppet in a box that would be the size of the cart that would then pop out when the crowd had gathered, this would then slowly emerge from the box and interact with the audience. The puppet would be rather like a joker/clown that would have over sized features so making its movement clumsy.

The picture is of a rough costume idea we had that the puppet could be wearing similar to a picture that we had come across of a clown from the time.
