Racines
As part of the DAFTEH project, it was proposed that we design a set of objects for dramathérapeute occurring in hospitals. All items had to adapt to a variety of therapeutic devices and allow to "create" the conditions and the territoriality of the playing space in non-dedicated places, and reduced time intervals. We then proposed to draw a family of objects that are neither symbols or signs; artifacts, unspecified things in a function or use and that could endlessly combine them such a grammar of forms, textures, materials. Borrowing from theatrical vocabulary and elementary geometric forms, Racines are generic objects, almost abstract, awaiting interpretative manipulations. Thus we propose to take advantage of this imaginative capacity of children when playing with a stick, they imagine a fishing rod, a rifle, a magic wand. Racines then form a system of tools for narration, simple starting points, some "Looks like...” objects.
