Object Theatre & Rhythm
with Matija Solce
A musical perspective of puppet and object theatre. The workshop is suitable for all theatre creators who would like to explore and integrate rhythm and music into their work.
The workshop focuses onto applying various performative techniques originating from rhythm, impulses, composition and developing situations based on underlying musical principles. Next, we will be orchestrating the group impulses and focus on characters. In the third part of the workshop, we will be creating a piece that is related to the chosen theme. The stage props, the mise en scene, the role of the spectator and everything else will be chosen in accordance with the above decision. We will be using material which is available or easy to gather.
