Object Theater Workshop!

Trouble Puppet kicks off its Working Artist Workshop Series, a six-session workshop conducted by artist with specializations in puppetry and related arts. The first workshop will be on Object Theater, facilitated by Caroline Reck, who directed FupDuck as the Visiting Guest Artist last spring for Trouble Puppet.

The workshop will focus on manipulation technique and the dramaturgy of storytelling with objects, with particular attention to design choices and appropriate materials. Learn manipulation techniques, using everyday objects as your puppets, and use those objects as a medium for storytelling.

Useful for actors expanding their technique repertoire, designers looking for a new angle on materials, and theater-makers interested in storytelling technique. The workshop will culminate in a showing of short works.


Fall Workshop: Six Tuesdays, November 2 – December 7, 7 – 9pm at the Trouble Puppet workshop at Salvage Vanguard Theater. Priced with the working artist in mind at $30 for the entire six sessions. Please contact Caroline Reck for a brief application form (carolinereck@yahoo.com).

Caroline Reck is a graduate of the Lecoq School of Physical Theatre in Paris, France and has an MFA in Theatre from Towson University’s program for self-producing theatre artists. A performer/director and frequent collaborator on devised work, her background is in mime, object theatre and puppetry.

Her company, Glass Half Full, is currently touring The FupDuck Project, a puppet show with live music, whiskey, and a duck; as well as The Orchid Flotilla, a solo puppetry and gestural performance about ecological disaster and the value of stuff.
