ABOUT
If this memory were a thing, what thing would it be? If this thing were a person, who would it be? A bunch of forks, a canoe, a rabbit’s skin, a potato and a poutine: how does this breathe, talk walk, sing and dance? What story does this object have to tell us and how can we help? Where has it been, what is it looking for, and who will join with it? Can we echo each others voices? Can we mimic each other's characters? What kind of looking glass has two eyes, two ears, two feet, one heart, and maybe swims and flies and spreads like thunder and wags its tail and leaves a slime trail?
Come and learn memory, observation, and connection through object theatre games.
By animating ordinary objects, we will become extraordinary visual storytellers!
This workshop is excellent for shy, neuro-atypical, and body self-conscious kids, as well as the show-stopping showboats!

Show us what you see with two eyes, two ears, two feet and a strong heartbeat. Figure out what only you can tell us today. Be brave, be calm, come play.
