In this workshop we will be looking at how objects can be used as a source for inspiration whether you work with performance, writing, or even visual art! Using puppetry concepts like breath, gaze, and presence we will play around with how we can create story or character from the things we already own. No need to bring anything special to the workshop, any piece of clothing or random object you have lying around the house will work! Although the workshop will be using performance based exercises all participants will be invited to do them with their camera off or just come and observe.
