“ SCHOLARSHIP”

The Object Score is workshop for Puppeteer, dancers, performers and theatre makers. 2014

Institute International de la marionnette CHARLEVILLE FRANCE , www.marionnette.com/en/

The Object Score is based on the research of the cross-over between puppets and dance.

The workshop challenges to develop short choreographic motives based on the technique that the performer has to dance with two ‘bodies' own and that of the puppet.

By exploring this technique discover the challenges and possibilities the movement of the dancer and the puppet are offering. In this space the performer

is learning to create emotional lines between him/her and the puppet and imagination and creativity get another dimension.
