\nObjects are profound carriers of meaning. Objects can evoke both a specific use (a pen is to write with) or suggest new meanings through their use (a pen, moved a certain way, might suggest a person walking down the street). Memory is often stimulated by seeing (color, shape) or touching (texture, weight) objects.<\/p>\n
Object performance can harness the power of objects to tell stories in simple yet innovative ways. Workshop Participants will work collaboratively with a range of objects to create short performances (3 to 6 minutes) using the objects as sets, characters, and environments.\u00a0\u00a0 The performances can be narrative or abstract, serious or humorous.<\/p>\n
Working in small groups, participants can respond to text from any source as a starting point. However, the performances will use no spoken or sung words. The focus will be on the use of performed objects to illuminate the ideas or narratives in the text.\u00a0 Any sounds will be generated by using objects as well.<\/p>\n
Following the presentations of the projects, if time allows, we will also view excerpts from the work of artists who perform with objects, including Hotel Modern, and Survival Research Laboratories.<\/p>\n
