Performing Objects

Dates: 16th – 27th Feb 2026

This is an introduction to Object Theatre, from various perspectives: playing with an object, anthropomorphizing an object, as well as being an object. What stories do we tell with our choice of an object or the way we might use it?

The workshop will be playful experimentation with object theatre in practice, by executing various creative tasks using everyday objects, found material and elementary puppetry.

The course will be led by Linnea Happonen, MA (Prague Academy of Performing Arts, Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre), also a graduate of the Commedia School, Copenhagen. She is the artistic director and co-founder of the theatre group Krepsko, founded in Prague in 2001. The performances of the group emphasize visual expression, are mostly nonverbal, and incorporate object theatre, puppetry, and other disciplines. Linnea has traveled with her performances worldwide in theaters and festivals in 30 countries and received numerous awards with the shows. She has also co-operated with other groups and artists, such as Akhe (RUS), and Robert Wilson (USA), among many others.
