Contents:
The starting point is Marcel Duchamp’s idea, from the “Ready-made”, that is to say, from what has already been made or “found” object. Manufactured objects decontextualized from its usual environment have to be found and are given a new identity. Besides, the use of the object has to have a metaphoric character. An introduction to the theatre of objects and its features is going to be dealt with within the workshop.

Target:
Actors, actresses, teachers, dancers, musicians and all those people who would like to know about the theatre of objects. There is no need to have experience.

Duration:

Objectives:
The aim of this workshop is to get closer to the theatre of objects where each student can discover its features and its particular language and make use of it together with his/her training and own characteristics.
