The Listening to the Material series with Rene Baker
In a series of three weekend courses over a nine-month period participants will learn techniques for devising theatre with objects, draw on the object's cultural and symbolic associations to transform its meaning and relationship to the human performer, and explore ways of integrating objects and sound so that neither music nor image is in service to the other.
These workshops are conceived as a performance laboratory, combining skills development with experimentation and reflection to make a bridge with participants' personal practice.
The Listening to the Material series of workshops will appeal to anyone interested in objects in performance – visual artists, actors, directors, dancers, puppeteers, animators, musicians and composers.
The series consists of three weekend courses over a nine-month period. It is possible to take individual weekend workshops or sign up for all three to gain 30 hours of in-depth training in using objects in performance.
