Object Theatre

“Anything can be a puppet”: Peter J Wilson, Master Puppeteer.

A relative newcomer to the world of puppetry, Object Theatre challenges traditional thinking on manipulation and puppetry forms. The puppeteer imbues life into seemingly lifeless everyday objects – such as a potato, a cheese grater, a tube of toothpaste – generating personality, intelligence and drama from and with the objects. The manipulator is visible and big vocals are required. The workshop focuses on puppetry manipulation, character creation, vocal skills, play and improvisation – working solo and in teams.

“I LOVE this workshop! My mind has been officially blown! Nothing will ever appear the same again: the humble kitchen tongs, the “contents” (population) of my vegetable crisper & fruit bowl – Everything has been brought to life and this has seriously changed the way I think. So great – Thank you!”
