This paper discusses locally sourced scenographic materials through two case studies in Japan. The first focuses on the Japanese traditional craft of washi paper, while the second examines wood sourcing in collaboration with a local forestry company. It also considers how sensory experience can influence the recognition of material agency. The paper explores the potential of rethinking material sourcing in ways that could enhance the creative process of performance-making.
