Abstract: Hyperbolic Dehn surgery and the bending procedure provide two ways which can be used to describe hyperbolic deformations of a complete hyperbolic structure on a 3-manifold. Moreover, one can obtain examples of non-Haken manifolds without the use of Thurston's Uniformization Theorem. We review these gluing techniques and present a logical continuity between these ideas and gluing methods for Higgs bundles. We demonstrate how one can construct certain model objects in representation varieties extHomleft(pi1left(Sigmaight),Gight) for a topological surface Sigma and a semisimple Lie group G. Explicit examples are produced in the case of Theta-positive representations lying in the smooth connected components of the extSOleft(p,p+1ight)-representation variety.
