	ABOUT PLASTICENE PHYSICAL THEATER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Plasticene is a research as well as performance organization.
		Plasticene emphasizes exploration of the most plastic elements of theatre creation: the human body, objects, light and sound.
		Plasticene looks to communicate human interaction and condition in new forms that are physical, visual, visceral, poetic, provocative, intelligent, and bravely experimental.

	Notebook
		Plasticene (or earth clay) is patted or rolled flat, and the entire bottom of the box is covered with a layer about a half inch thick, on the surface of which the children can work their ideas out directly.
		The plasticene can then be given a very thin coat of petroleum jelly; however, this is not absolutely necessary, as there is already oil in the plasticene mixture.
		The plaster is poured onto the plasticene carving to a thickness of 1/2" to 3/4".

	Making a Klingon headpiece (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Get the plasticene really soft by kneading it in your hands, then use it to sculpt the eyebrow ridges, nose, forehead crest onto whatever head you are using.
		Plasticene won't stick to cling film very well, which is why it's easier to have the subject lying down.
		However you finish the surface of the plasticene at this stage, it will be exactly reproduced in the final prosthetic, so take a bit of time to get it right.

		Pollard, hired as Plasticene's first full-time managing director, is a part of a lot of change taking place for the company this year, including a new workspace in Wicker Park.
		Plasticene continues to rely on mail-in and individual contributors but are still short of the total needed to travel.
		Plasticene is physical theatre, and The Palmer Raids is chock full of demanding physical actions.

	snuurg's little workshop
		Depending on the complexity of the sculpture, you may or may not have to perform a little 'surgery' to extract the sculpt from the mould, but careful work with a scalpel or sharp craft knife will ensure a neatly-fitting empty mould ready for casting.
		Basically, the parts concerned should be embedded to about half their depth into some soft medium such as plasticene, uncured sculpey, or whatever suits your purpose.
		Next, build a wall of plasticene or milliput around the embedded eobject(s) of a sufficient height to make sure the entire half-piece will be covered over when the resulting enclosure is filled with rubber.

		Cookie cutter shape for each student (use yogurt cups, something small and round) a ball of plasticene (modelling clay), and a plastic disposable knife, a 6 cm piece of 2cm diameter wood doweling or a small rolling pin for each student.
		Strategy: pass out the plasticene and tell the students to flatten it out into a pancake 1/2 a cm thick and big enough to cut 2-3 shapes using the cookie cutter they have.
		Tell them to cut at least two whole shapes out of the plasticene and ask them to cut one of them in half and one of them in quarters.

	Duke Nostalgia's Hey You! Slimeball Musing Page
		Plasticene is basically clay - silicates - soaked in some sort of mineral oil.
		When you freeze this plasticene, the elastic synthetic plastic polymer "traps" the oil inside it even more than usual (remember - plasticene = oil dissolved in solid) and hence it becomes solid.
		Well, no aliens were harmed to extract their blood, only, perhaps prehistoric animals that have died and have since been transformed into crude oil which has then been refined and made into plastic.

	An eerily modern history lesson
		In their New York debut at the Ohio Theater, Plasticene presents a docudrama recounting the U.S. mail bombings and their chilling aftermath in the early 1920’s.
		Fresh from its acclaimed run in Chicago, “The Palmer Raids” carries the unique Plasticene qualities of “gritty, honest, visceral theater” and taking the idea of acting to a high, subtle form of physicality.

	The WHITE TOWER Centre of Knowledge - Mould making
		Plasticene is one of the least expensive and most important materials in the entire process.
		Now that have settled the figure into the plasticene, create several "keys" by pushing a dowel (or other such round object) into the plasticene in the large flat areas where the figure will not be distrubed.
		It does not matter at this point what happens to the plasticene, since we are finished with it until the next mold.

	Plasticene lives in fake psychedelic landscapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Plasticene's press release promotes the band by claiming that it is "too American to be British, and too British to be American," so it would be safe to say that Plasticene is not wanted anywhere for the sheer fact that the album is completely unoriginal.
		The Beatles-esque lyrics are so blatant that it is almost shocking that the band thought it could get away with such genre-plagiarizing and hope for any type of music credibility.
		Plasticene's souless, copycat lyrics are lost in a haze of tranquil dream-like sequences and 70s drug clichés.

	SWRPGNetwork Conversions - Plasticene Thermite Gel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Plasticene thermite gel is a moldable substance designed to burn at extremely high temperatures for about 15 to 20 seconds.
		Because plasticene thermite gel inflicts damage in such a small area, it is generally ineffective against vehicles and starships except to cut through the hull or burn open an airlock.
		Plasticene thermite gel requires a some kind of detonator or timer to explode.

	Plasticene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"Plasticene is not easy theater… it is a spectacular mental exercise that challenges your own interpretive boundaries in coincidence with the challenging of physical and theatrical boundaries on stage."
		"Plasticene creates strange, dizzying, high-impact, psychologically-driven scenarios by means of the movement of bodies and objects rather than dialogue.
		Plasticene generates its work through a unique process of theater-making that is artist and rehearsal centered.

	BBC - h2g2 - Plasticene
		Plasticene is a kind of modelling clay - essentially clay and oil plus dye.
		But plasticene actors were not receiving the recognition they deserved.
		Plasticene is now seen as a mainstream material for manufacture of Hollywood leading actors, and is known to create a more lifelike result than the now seriously outmoded Roger Moore.

	Eye - Ondisc - 09.16.99
		With a new rhythm section and a new name, singer-songwriter-guitarists Rob Szabo (formerly of the Groove Daddies) and Steve Strongman have re-released the Marigold album with two new tracks (with the new line-up) and one track from their debut EP.
		If you missed out the first time -- like pretty much the entire country -- this is a stunning collection of perfect pop sense, Sloan-esque harmonies and a few nods to Radiohead with their sonically spacious balladry and occasional prog flourish.
		Like those two bands, Plasticene have stuffed their album with more single-worthy material than most modern rock bands can conjure in their entire career.

	Metromix. Real power is low-tech in 'Perimeter' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although Plasticene prefers abstract themes to overt cultural references, "The Perimeter" is intended as a performance-meditation on how power is exerted on those who inhabit the area around its limits — think national borders, the edge of a prison camp, the boundary between Baghdad's Green Zone and the rest of that city.
		It's partly because Plasticene's perennial strengths revolve around physical intensity and psychic vulnerability, not the more cerebral interest of how to reflect three-dimensional movement in sampled sound or on a two-dimensional screen.
		Gopfert and her five-performer company of collaborators cite the notorious Stanford Prison Experiments of 1971 (in which fake student guards were turned into genuinely brutal oppressors) as a point of departure.

		Water-based has to be tended during the sculpting process to prevent drying and cracking, but the finished mold does not have to be so scrupulously cleaned since the moisture leaving the neoprene can pass through any residual clay and into the plaster.
		It is available in a variety of grades to suit personal preferences in terms of hardness and is considerably less messy to work with, but any traces of its oil which are left in the mold will form a moisture barrier and prevent the neoprene from curing properly in those spots.
		If your sculpt is plasticene, be sure the mold has thoroughly cooled before trying to open it--the clay will have gone molten to some degree during the heating phase and may still be hot enough to hurt.

		If you have students do this in pairs, try setting it up as a center where a subgroup of your class can work while the rest works on something else.
		This saves on the number of beam molds that you need to make and the total amount of plasticene that you need.
		The central idea of this activity is that when you scale up proportionally (i.e., keep things the same shape but change the size) weight increases faster than strength.
