Breathing Objects By Myra Loke

Objects in motion and objects that breathe - herein lies the heart of puppetry. The creativity in this art form is the balance between the activated motion by the puppeteer, and the "agency" of the puppet/object - the recognition that “every object contains a soul of its own”. With this acknowledgement and respect, we activate the puppet/object by giving it our breath (the puppeteer’s breath).

This process of activating and animating a puppet requires the participation of the puppet, puppeteer and also the audience. The object comes to life by a puppeteer's hands and breath, and the audience is encouraged to suspend disbelief while actively participating in this transformation. This reconfiguring of being therefore requires participation and investment.

This workshop brings its participants through the journey of answering two crucial questions - How can we harness this participation and why should we?

This workshop will be conducted in 2 parts, over 2 separate days:-

Session #2: 12th September (Saturday) 2:00pm - 5:00pm
