Object Narrative

Considering an object’s biography and interaction with other objects and humans within its network provides an effective way to evoke meaning without the assistance of text or a human performer. I define Object Narrative as the story an inanimate item, or combination of items, can tell through space, composition, materiality, visual elements, tactile feedback, sound, movement, and semiotics. Objects are integral to storytelling in the theatre and I propose a method of designing that emphasizes the rich depth of meaning that can be found in any given object.
