Puppet Nomad Academy II
Start date: May 10, 2011,

The "Puppet Nomad Academy II" (PNA II) project will focus on intensifying the contents of meetings set up within the primal "Puppet Nomad Academy" (PNA) project. Inspired by “the nomads of beauty” from the period of the European avant-garde, we conceived the Project as some kind of puppet workshops travelling from the East to the West.This time the action will flow in the opposite direction, from the W to the E. While the PNA project focused on transferring the traditional skills of puppet making and their manipulation, the PNA II project focuses on transferring the traditional art and computer animations to old traditional theatres - to great masters of puppetry, and on exploring general usage of new technologies and multimedia in a traditional theatre environment. New technologies in puppetry that were in a way "invented" in Slovenia will be presented in countries having little experience in intertwining network arts with old and new media. The experience gained by MT as the producer of the world's first virtually animated puppet performance in 3D in real time is very precious. The team of artists coming from MT, SI and N.Kazalište, HR, and participating in the project Virtual animations and its development will organize seminars, workshops and computer animations for young artists from BY and AM. Young theatre artists from RS will join. The new stage of this project includes a totally special programme created by exceptional artists from Middle Europe (SK,CZ), W.Europe (BE) and Baltic states (EE) , who will supervise workshops/performances taking place in SI, AM and HR, and organized for puppetry amateurs and professionals, and for all those interested in usage of postulates of puppet art in therapeutic, educational and androgenic purposes. The final outcome is the PNA II presenting the results: from workshops to performances; rich exchange of texts, exchange of artists, work experience (workshops, performances, puppets, music, set design), dialogue.
