About this Event
"Emily's object theatre workshop was hilarious and really helped me think of different ways to devise theatre". Eliza Hannay, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama Student.
What is the difference between a puppet and an object in performance?
How can you start making object theatre?
Puppetry is often character driven narrative theatre with puppets.
Object theatre is storytelling with objects.
They are not the same thing although they are in the same family.
A bit like siblings – the same family, the same story but different ways of story telling.
Humans identify with objects and everyday things are incorporated into our language.
“Walking on eggshells”, “couch potato”, “apple of my eye”, “heart of stone”, “roller coaster of emotions”, and “heart of gold.”
Working with everyday objects, we will explore the relationship between narrator and object, and delve into the object’s potential for symbolic communication and storytelling in performance.
You will:
• Participate in group & solo object theatre games and exercises.
• Explore the manipulation of objects as puppet.
• Explore & develop performance images and narrative in short scenes.
