What the heck is a puppet? Any inanimate object you can bring to life. This workshop will investigate the fundamentals of found-object puppetry, or bringing life to ordinary household objects. The key is to see the potential in all things. There will be an emphasis on courage, breath, movement, creative abandon, and fun. No performance experience necessary.
This is a workshop for adults (not children). Please bring one or more household objects to add to the pile of available materials. Nothing precious or breakable please. (Eg. A sweater, a spatula, a lunchbox, an old milk carton, etc )

This workshop introduces concepts from various movement methodologies in order to develop the mind/body connection. Exercises will focus on developing awareness of habitual patterns and a deeper relationship to core steadiness and ease in order to ground, open, and free the body, energy, breath, voice, and creative impulse.
The workshop begins with a hatha yoga practice followed by various theatre exercises and concluding with the integration of movement with the influence of music. Break out of your movement box in this marriage of physiological awareness and play.
Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in that aren't too loose or baggy. Bring a yoga mat if you have one. We will work in bare feet unless this is not comfortable for you, in which case bring whatever shoes work best for you.
Please memorize a few lines (approximately 10 – 15) of text from a monologue that you enjoy and connect with to use in an exercise (time permitting). The text can be from any play.
Denise's most recent work includes two diverse solo shows.
