An approach to all three basic elements that contribute to making a complete visual universe - Object, Universe and Life. OBJECT - puppet, mask, shadows; UNIVERSE - scenography, light and sound; LIFE - how these elements become animate. An exploratory laboratory, which examines through analysis, practice and experimentations, how a harmonious puppetry performance is created. Through improvisations and research on stage individually and in groups, participants will work on how to develop and realise an idea, all the way from scratch to the final desirable result. See here for Merlin Puppet Theatre's show at the festival, "Noone's Land".

Transgression & Transfiguration:
Object Theatre Performance Workshop for Adults

Description
10am - 5pm 1 day workshop for adults. Transgression and Transfiguration - an in-depth exploration of the life and soul of an object, led by Marc Parrett of the OBJECT Project. In this one day, hands-on performance workshop we’ll play with objects and materials and release their hidden stories. We’ll explore our often surprising emotional attachment to ‘things’ and poke about in that liminal space between puppetry and inanimate object. We’ll also ask important questions like why is the umbrella such a useful theatrical tool and is the demise of an iced bun a tragedy, or comedy?
