Object Improvisation Workshop
Sitting in a circle, different shaped and textured objects are passed around. This is done in darkness, so that the objects are touched and not seen. Each participant chooses an object which appeals to him and passes it on to the others. When each person has their object, the group are left alone for a few minutes to discover and explore their objects. They explore the texture, the sound it makes, the movement possibilities of the object and a short scenario it can create, either together or in a group with other objects.
The darkness encourages the performer not to rely only on the visual, but to explore the other possibilities of the object, the texture, movement and sounds it can create alone or in harmony with the performer.
