An emerging star of object theater guides workshops to put objects in motion for professionals and the general public.

This workshop is conducted by Ariel Doron, who garnered much attention for his performance at the 2024 Shimokitazawa International Puppet Festival last year. Doron is an emerging star within the world of Object Theater, creating works with his masterful skills in moving objects and incorporating incisive social themes. For this year’s Autumn Meteorite, Doron organizes two different types of workshops: one for industry professionals, and another one-day event for the general public.
The Experimental Edition, open to children and adults alike, will offer a joyful experience in which ordinary household objects seem to come alive before one’s eyes.

Profile

Facilitator: Ariel Doron

Ariel Doron is a puppeteer, director and performer. He is known as an award-winning artist and one of the leading figures in contemporary puppetry/object theater.
His work often uses little text and a lot of playfulness in order to deal with personal, social and political subjects. Each project is created with the puppetry or artistic discipline that best suits it, with the hope to always expand and question the media in which it is created, and with a desire to inspire viewers to feel, think and react.
He animates and gives the voice to the beloved character Elmo in a local version of "Sesame Street," alongside dozens of other characters in a variety of television productions.
He has also directed and co-produced works at numerous theaters and institutions, and is active as a masterclass instructor and workshop facilitator, teaching at various educational institutions.
