This innovative workshop invites participants to delve into the expressive potential of objects and explore their inherent capacity of movement and response, transforming passive items into active storytellers.Through a series of exercises, participants will engage with objects as extensions of themselves, crafting narratives, dialogues and gestures- culminating in a live performance.
"Object Speak" is designed for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of performance, body, theater and visual art.
