Join us for the Fall 2020 Object Movement Puppetry Festival! Over the course of three nights, this year's Object Movement resident puppetry & object theater artists will each present a brand new short piece, developed in residence at The Center at West Park. Each evening features three 10-minute presentations by three different extraordinary artists and a half-hour long conversation with the artists to follow.
Curated by Maiko Kikuchi, Rowan Magee, and Justin Perkins. Object Movement is a residency program for developing new works that address eternal human questions and the urgent challenges of our society today through puppetry and object theater.
Tickets: $10 per night, $25 Festival Pass for all three nights
All performances will be streamed on Twitch. You do not need a Twitch account to watch the performances, but we recommend creating a free account to enable the interactive features of some performances.
