Theatre Skills Object Manipulation Workshop

We looked at object manipulation, and talked about how this can lead into puppet work. We each had a sheet of newspaper and experimented with the different ways it could be moved. I scrunched it into a ball, dropped it from different heights, folded it into shapes and flipped it round in the air. We then had to find three actions and movements that the newspaper could do and then presented what we found to the class. After doing this, we got into small groups and created objects and scenes from newspaper pieces.
