Object Work
Also known as Space Object Work, Invisible Object Work
The craft of handling imaginary objects, the invisible coffee cup, the door, the phone, with consistent weight, position, and physics.
Known for
- Spolin's foundational practice; remains a separator between trained and untrained improvisers.
- Consistency rules: objects stay where you put them; hands maintain relative position; other performers inherit established objects.
- Specificity multiplies believability: 'universal remote' over 'remote'; 'bicycle bell' over 'bell.'
