Introduction to Object Puppetry Workshop

Company:

2023

Le Théâtre de la Pire Espèce
Artists:
Antonia Leney-Granger & Olivier Ducas

From the masterful puppetry artists bringing us Brief History of Time and Zen Tales, learn the foundations of object puppetry and give it a try for yourself! No prior experience required.

Object theater offers unheard-of dramatic and poetic possibilities. The workshop proposes a short exploration of its peculiar dramaturgy based on the relationship between the actor-storyteller and the manipulated object. Through simple exercises, we will discover the power of the object on stage, the basic principles of its manipulation, and the different roles of the performer: manipulator, actor, storyteller.

The Théâtre de la Pire Espèce is a pioneer of object theatre in Quebec, Canada, and has been touring internationally since 1999. Its theatre combines raw materials with unbridled imagination and surgical precision. It explores and plays with stage conventions and the rules of dramatic narration and seeks to establish close complicity with the audience. The company regularly offers workshops and other intensive courses in Quebec and abroad.

"We wish to honour the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Neutral Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land upon which we stand and the waters that flow through it. It is our privilege to share this land, which has been the site of imagination since the beginning of human experience.  

 

Hermione Presents ~ SpringWorks is located on land governed by both the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant of 1701 and the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827. We are mindful of broken covenants and the need for us to respectfully listen, to learn from our mutual history and to strive continuously for reconciliation at all levels. 

 

The responsibility to nurture this land and protect the future falls to us all and in so doing, we actively honour the wisdom of those who came before us."
