That is why the Institut International de la Marionnette created in 2012, alongside its Training pole, a pole for Research. Its function is to coordinate its activities concerning heritage, documentation, science and publication.
&nbsp;
Through the different activities of this pole, the Institute wishes to encourage fundamental research on the arts of puppetry, foster the process of artistic creation, reinforce the links between the communities of research and those of creation, and share these approaches with the public.
&nbsp;
The Research Centre has a team of permanent staff and draws on the expertise of a scientific committee made up of personalities connected with research, heritage and creation. Its vocation is to encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue and exchanges on an international scale.
&nbsp;
In 2013, because of the scientific interest and the heritage value of its documentation centre, the IIM became a centre associated with the BnF (National Library of France).

This closure has been made necessary in order to bring the building up to standards and ensure the safety of the people accommodated there.
As a reminder, the Villa d'Aubilly, a residence for researchers and creators, opened in 1996. The building was constructed in the XVIIth century and is a part of the remarkable architectural heritage of the city of Charleville-M&eacute;zi&egrave;res.
We will do everything in our power to get the Villa reopened as soon as possible and will keep you informed of the progress.

"Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with its many strings, which are made to vibrate". - Vassily KANDINSKY
The point at which the inanimate, brought to life, meets music, in all its nobility and purity, offers broad vistas of expression, and here lies the heart of this work-in-progress.For many years, Basil Twist has been exploring the synthesis of sound and music. This exploration has become a fully developed method of performance creation.How should we "see" music? How should we hear colours, shapes, images, materials, objects, puppets, movements, spaces and volumes, as we listen to a piece of music? How can a piece of music be made visual?Basil Twist offers a unique artistic experience which actively involves all the senses.
Progression and methodology Throughout the three weeks, participants will work on the basic principles of the animation of forms and puppets. Performance and construction work will be pursued together and/or in small groups.

Week OneThe first week will be exploratory, involving listening to different pieces of music and experimenting with the animation of forms created with simple materials (cardboard, paper, textiles), or with puppets manipulated by several operators.


Week TwoProceeding from sensorial listening sessions and "kamikaze" improvisations (quick, spontaneous and free performances), a dramaturgy of movements and images will be formulated and developed in small groups.


Week ThreeThe final week of "Music in Movement" will end with a short public performance at the Th&eacute;&acirc;tre de l'ESNAM (on the evening of Thursday 23rd July, followed by review and disassembly of Friday 24th July).

Aims of the Course"Music in Movement"  will focus mainly on the performance of a puppet theatre piece involving the principles of musical synthesis, which will be investigated progressively over the three weeks.This will involve:

experimenting with the concept of musical synthesis, using animated forms and in space
exploring musical elements through the use of the senses: rhythm, pitch, texture, timbre, expression, etc.
exploring musical abstraction and its equivalent in the puppet theatre context
- creating images and animated forms using musical textures and simple materials (paper, cardboard, textiles, shadows, etc.)
acquiring ideas for how to manipulate and animate materials and puppets as a team
building a visual dramaturgy on the basis of selective listening experiences
understanding and appreciating the differences between musical and theatrical narration
this "work in progress" has been designed specifically for the outstanding and unique Th&eacute;&acirc;tre de l'ESNAM

-A native of San Francisco, Basil Twist is an internationally renowned puppeteer and theatrical performer whose experiments with the materials and techniques of puppetry explore the frontiers between the animate and the inanimate, the abstract and the figurative. His work ranges from the performance of conventional narratives to the abstract visualisation of music, but also of dance. He draws inspiration from puppet traditions from all over the world, including hand puppets, bunraku, string puppets and rod puppets. Basil Twist graduated from the &Eacute;cole Nationale Sup&eacute;rieure des Arts de la Marionnette (ESNAM) in 1993. His performances include: Symphonie Fantastique (1998), Master Peter's Puppet Show (2002), Dogugaeshi (2004), Hansel and Gretel (2006), Arias with a Twist (2008) and The Rite of Spring (2013).Basil Twist has received many awards for his work. He performs in many countries, now lives and works in New York City and teaches puppetry at several American universities.
Philippe Rodriguez-Jorda is a puppeteer who graduated from ESNAM in 1990. He has taken part in many performances both in France and abroad (in Australia, Russia, The Czech Republic, Switzerland, Poland, Germany and the United States), particularly with the Drak Theatre, Fran&ccedil;ois Lazaro, Roman Paska, Marcel Bozonnet, Philippe Adrien and Sylvie Baillon. Philippe Rodriguez-Jorda also has ongoing artistic collaborations with B&eacute;rang&egrave;re Vantusso (Les Aveugles, L'Herbe folle, Violet, Le r&ecirc;ve d'Anna, L'Institut Benjamenta), Sylvain Maurice (La chute de la maison Usher, Les sorci&egrave;res, M&eacute;tamorphose) and Audrey Bonnefoy (Compagnie des Petits pas dans les grands). He teaches periodically at ESNAM and runs a permanent workshop at the Charleville-M&eacute;zi&egrave;res psychiatric hospital.
