8th Annual CWP Object Movement Puppetry Festival

Join us for the 8th annual CWP Object Movement Puppetry Festival!

Object Movement is CWP's annual program in which a cohort of eight puppetry and object theater artists meet and work over the course of seven months to develop new short works.

This residency culminates in the Object Movement Puppetry Festival, a two week celebration of puppetry and object theater with a unique lineup of original works each weekend. This year's festival runs March 28th through April 5th, with showings on March 28th and 29th at 2 and 7:30pm, and April 4th and 5th at 2 and 7:30pm!

The first weekend features new work created by Nikki Calonge, Lily Haje, Arianna Eshoo, and Jacob Graham.

The following weekend features Beyonce Armstrong, Cecilia Arana, Amanda Card, and Eva Lansberry.

The curators for Object Movement are Rowan Magee, Marcella Murray, and Justin Perkins. Jim Freeman serves as Resident Builder.
