ABOUT OBJECT MOVEMENT RESIDENCY & FESTIVAL

Object Movement is a residency program for developing new works by puppeteers and object theater artists. Object Movement supports the development of new work that addresses eternal human questions and the urgent challenges of our society today through puppetry and object theater, culminating in an annual festival of short performances. For the 2020-2021 season, we’re going online to explore the possibilities of making puppetry for people on the internet—like you!

The Spring 2021 Residency and Festival have been made possible in part by a grant from the Jim Henson Foundation, a grant from the Puppet Slam Network, as well as public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by LMCC.
