Object Theatre
What happens when everyday objects take the stage?
A practical workshop for artists across disciplines, exploring 'Ready Made' objects beyond their role as props. Together, we discover the poetic language of object theatre: how the simplest things can evoke entire worlds, provoke thought and touch the viewers. Through hands-on individual and group experiments, we explore the relationship between objects, performers and the audience’s imagination.
Interactive Theatre
How to move an audience
What makes a performance truly live?
A place where the unexpected can happen?
Drawing on my experience in creating participatory
formats, together we will analyse shows, take inspiration from fields of design, psychology and gaming mechanics,
as well as practical group excercises on how to
implement 'nudge' design, subtle cues & playful situations that invite participation, and create experiences
that can only happen once.
Creation Labs
A space for developing new shows
A shared laboratory for artists developing puppet or object theatre projects. We explore the materials, test possibilities and develop ideas through practical experiments and feedback. Moving between individual research and collective sessions, we work on artistic language, dramaturgy and the relationship with the audience - giving emerging projects the focused time
and attention they need to grow.
