The CWP Object Movement Puppetry Festival is the culmination of The Center at West Park’s annual residency program in which a cohort of eight puppetry and object theater artists meet and work over the course of seven months to develop new short works. This residency culminates in the Object Movement Puppetry Festival, a two week celebration of puppetry and object theater with a unique lineup of original works each weekend. The first weekend features new work created by Daniel Toretsky, Eve Soffer Liberman, Zlata Godunova, and Joshua Holden.

The following weekend features work by Michael Vandergard, Eli Berman, Jan Leslie Harding, and Diane Matyas.

The curators for Object Movement are Rowan Magee, Marcella Murray, and Justin Perkins. Jim Freeman serves as Resident Builder.
