Out With It
In this wild and lyrical piece of puppetry-infused physical theater, a fastidious clown takes on the forces of chaos. In a collision of movement, clown, and found-object puppetry, Out With It unpacks the rough and tender realities of holding things in and letting things go.
Out With It, created and performed by Artistic Director Claire Saxe uses the languages of movement, clown, and found-object puppetry. A whirlwind 55-minutes.

Everything is Puppets! An Intro to Puppetry & Found Object
SUNDAY, MAY 31 @ 6PM - 8PM CT (with optional Q&A @ 8pm - 9pm CT)
VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Everything is Puppets!
An Intro to Puppetry & Found Object
EVERYTHING IS PUPPETS! Your wallet? PUPPET. Coffee cup? PUPPET? Computer mouse? DEFINITELY A PUPPET. If you've ever wondered how puppeteers come up with their wildest ideas or ever wanted to learn the foundational skills to animate a puppet, this is the workshop for you. Using objects found in your home we will explore what a puppet can be and how you bring it to LIFE.
This virtual workshop is for those with no experience in puppetry, movement artists looking for a fresh perspective, folks who want to recapture their sense of play, and everyone in between! The workshop will be followed by an optional Q&A discussion with our instructor. Register below!
About our instructor:
A multi-hyphenate creator in Chicago. Felix’s work balances innocence and horror to create characters and narratives that feel both human and otherworldly. Sharing their experiences of being brown in America, mental illness, trans queerness, and grief keeps their work unique and relatable.

About our Hosts!
Elastic Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports a community of musicians, artists, performers, and audiences in our Avondale/Logan Square neighborhood and throughout the city. Elastic is an organization that exists to create space for all artists to create, but especially ones who are not welcome elsewhere because the content of their work is experimental, unorthodox, non-traditional, out of bounds, or reflective of racial, ethnic, sexual or political identities that are unwelcome in (or threatening to) dominant cultural institutions.
WORKSHOP: Storyboarding, Translating Imagination onto Paper
Do you have an idea for a story? Any kind, any medium, any subject? Is it safely tucked in your imagination with a shaky release plan? Learn how to transcribe an abstract idea into an image, setting the foundation and a path forward. Make a visual language by you, for you , mapping out your story and imagined world with good old fashioned pencil and paper. Together, we will learn how to break down story elements into movement through space and time. All ages welcome, zero drawing proficiency or background needed! Bring all your story dreams. Having an idea is hard. Explaining said idea, even harder. Use pictures instead.

Over the course of this three-hour workshop, we’ll walk you through the process of inception, development, rehearsal, and presentation.

Out With It
In the languages of clown, found-object puppetry, and visual poetry, Claire Saxe’s Out With It tells a playful and lyrical tale about holding things in and letting things go. Our fastidious protagonist seeks to keep her space in order, while “wildness” creeps in at every turn. In a relentless –and often messy– battle of wills, our tenacious clown comes head to head with her own chaos. Will order prevail? Will wildness win? One thing is certain: There’s only room on this stage for one of them…
Best suited for audiences ages 10+

PUPPETEER’S MOVEMENT LAB: EXPLORING MOTION & MANIPULATION
This workshop is for puppeteers who want to move, and movers who want to puppeteer! The workshop will blend physical training with creative exploration, preparing your body to engage with the art of puppetry.
We’ll start with guided movement training to condition and strengthen your body, transforming it into a more effective tool for puppet manipulation and expressive performance. Explore and refine how your body moves and reacts while puppeteering to enhance your control and expressiveness. Plus, have fun interacting with objects!
* Please wear clothes you are comfortable moving in!
* Please bring 2-3 objects that you would like to play with, and are comfortable with other people using as well. We will also have plenty of spares available at the workshop.
This workshop is facilitated by Chih-Jou Cheng and is hosted at the Narrow Bridge Arts Club.
