Spike definition theatre12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() In many ways, this is akin to various forms of puppetry, with or without objects. Some practitioners of object theatre even involve the performer in the narrative, itself. However, other practitioners create an object theatre that involves the performer/s in full view of the audience without any attempt to hide the person moving the objects. The audience is encouraged to ignore their presence and focus on the narrative being created with the objects. Many practitioners create object theatre as a hidden puppeteer, revealing just their hands to move the objects or with their bodies in full view, but dressed in blacks. As a result, practitioners of ‘object theatre’ commonly share what I consider to be the key principle of puppetry: the anthropomorphic transformation of an object into a subjectified character (a box of spoons becomes a village, a sieve the head of a girl). Object Theatre is a term that we might argue has been ghettoised as a sub-category of puppetry, often used to describe a performance style that contains the animation of utilitarian, or pre-existing ‘found’ objects rather than those constructed for theatrical effect (such as the puppet). Is object theatre a sub-category of puppetry? Could object theatre exist without puppets? Could students in our drama and theatre classrooms perform object theatre before their peers? If so, could object theatre equally be performed in a Year 3 classroom and a Year 12 classroom? Not being an expert in either puppetry or object theatre, I was interested in exploring this form. Instead of objects and/or puppets specifically designed for the narrative, object theatre deliberately uses everyday objects, either as is or transformed into other things, requiring the skill of the performer and the imagination of the audience for its success. ![]() Object theatre (sometimes referred to as object puppetry) uses found objects to create a story with characters.
