 Workshop contents: Working with objects

Julyen Hamilton 2015

title   :  WORKING  with OBjeCtS

Julyen Hamilton’s performances are characterised by a number of different reoccurring elements. These elements have been deeply researched and practiced over the years.

They involve light / sound / text and speech ….and the use of objects.

His decor work and use of objects in the space is of essence and

accompanies all of his theatre pieces.

OBjeCtS placed, handled, spoken to, danced beside, destroyed and created…all reveal a particular poetry especially when in the context of the ‘naked’ dancer’s body.

We will take a look at this subject, working the body thoroughly and in the context of objects ‘on stage’.

We’ll consider and practice how to enter into poetic relationships with objects and discover how they can participate and reveal further layers of imagery in performance.
