Object Theatre Workshops
Object Theatre workshops are available for groups of teens and adults, including teachers of elementary, middle, and high school. Each workshop is tailored to meet the needs of the group. Teachers learn to apply techniques, activities, and perspectives from the workshop to any classroom setting, from elementary to high school. Working simultaneously with both the collective and personal meanings of objects as symbols, Object Theatre explores the gap between expression and perception.

Puppetry Workshops
Students start with a hands-on look at puppets from different traditions and styles including Indonesian, Chinese, European, shadow, glove, rod, and more. They then learn to construct simple rod puppets using elemental materials. The emphasis is on structure, scale, and manipulation. Students do exercises with puppets to learn techniques of movement, manipulation, voice, and sound, culminating in solo work, improvisations, and ensembles of two, three or more. Students create and perform short vignettes or plays for the class. If time permits, students are also shown slides of interesting and weird puppets from around the world.
