Meetings

In line with the International Puppet Festival’s remit to encourage the practice of puppetry in Ireland, the festival will provide a forum to develop a dynamic peer group for Irish puppeteers in the coming years.

The festisval is also providing a focus for the development of UNIMA (Union Internationale de la Marionette) in Ireland.

 The timing of the festival also coincides with a symposium, organised by Helium Children’s Arts, which examines arts for children within the context of the Puppet Portal Project.
