Students will discover the object’s expressive possibilities and will practice different manipulation techniques. They will then be asked to create short pieces using objects as characters or symbols, under the watchful eye of their instructors.

Students 16 years of age and older (or with permission) will perform their new work at the 2020 Puppet Slam later that night, at 10 PM on January 25.

In Quebec and abroad, the Théâtre de la Pire Espèce regularly offers intensive courses in theater of objects, oriented to the manipulation, staging or writing specific to this particular theatrical genre. Our team of trainers gives workshops at local and international festivals, as well as in several university programs (UQAM, National Theatre School of Canada).

If you would like to request to participate in this event with $40 off please fill out the form found through the Living Things Festival website.
