Join puppeteer Paul Zaloom on a journey to the far reaches of the
imagination. Explore improvisation, free association, humor, child’s
play as process, the nature of objects, and puppetry in general. Workshop participants are asked to bring a minimum of six objects
each – toys, appliances, packing materials, tools, and other ordinary
or extraordinary rubbish – to this highly creative class. Zaloom opens
with a brief discussion of object theatre and then invites each person to operate the assembled junk as puppets and environments in an ad-libbed performance.
Cost: $25; $20 for Members
Limit: 15
