Queridos amigos de Unima,
Es un placer volver a comunicarnos con Uds. para anunciarles que realizaremos la primera reunión del 2009 el sábado 30 de Mayo de 11 a 13:30hs.
Será un día a toda gracia, ya que se llevará a cabo una charla con proyecciones sobre EL HUMOR Y LA COMICIDAD, dictada por el director argentino de varieté Christian Forteza.
En ella nos transmitirá las herramientas básicas para la construcción del personaje cómico y la creación de distintas situaciones cómicas.

- Se proyectará además un compilado de escenas de grandes humoristas como Chaplin, Búster Keaton, Mr. Bean, etc.

- Se entregarán los certificados pendientes para los miembros que asistieron a la charla teórica que dictó Alejandra Rodríguez.

- Comunicamos que una vez más se otorgó una beca internacional, en este caso a la compañera Julieta García, para asistir al Taller sobre Títeres de Mesa dictado por la Cía. ARKETAL de Francia, en el XXIX Feria Internacional del Títere de Sevilla - Mayo 2009.

- Entrega y actualización del carnet nacional.
- Novedades sobre Unima y de próximos encuentros.
Adjuntamos gacetilla sobre la charla: EL HUMOR Y LA COMICIDAD.

Los esperamos el sábado 30 de Mayo a las 11 Hs. en la Sala Tuñón (1er.piso) del Centro Cultural de la Cooperación en Av. Corrientes 1543.

Saludos Cordiales.

EL HUMOR Y LA COMICIDAD

¿De qué y por qué nos reímos?

Se ha definido al hombre como el único animal que ríe, también se podría decir que es el único que puede hacer un chiste, e ir más lejos en asegurar que es de lo único que nos reímos.

Sólo nos reímos del hombre o por extensión cuando humanizamos una situación. Y en este último caso, el títere creo que es un ejemplo elocuente de esta premisa.

La charla estará destinada a un acercamiento desde lo teórico para diferenciar el humor (el chiste) de la comicidad (lo físico), como así también conocer los distintos recursos y en que forma se utilizan para la construcción del personaje cómico o para crear situaciones cómicas.
El gag.
El rodeo.
La dramaturgia de las acciones.
La psicología del personaje cómico.
Como piensa. Su lógica interna.
Diferentes maneras de enfrentar el conflicto.

La charla estará acompañada además de una proyección donde aparecerán distintas escenas de comediantes como Búster Keaton, Chaplin; Mr.Bean, etc., que ejemplifiquen por un lado los recursos y si es posible también para abrir un debate entorno al humor.

Christian Forteza pertenece a la Dirección Artística del “Centro Cultural de la Cooperación Floreal Gorini”, como coordinador, programador e investigador del área varieté, donde hizo sus últimas direcciones, entre ellas, “Puré de Nervios I y II”, “Vincent”, “Varieté en el CCC”,”CHELINCHA”, “Mr Xpender”.
Se especializa en la dirección de unipersonales y el entrenamiento actoral para el armado de rutinas y números de comicidad.
Varios de sus espectáculos han obtenido subsidios del INT el Fondo Nacional del las Artes y auspicios de embajadas como también han sido invitados a festivales internacionales y ha dado charlas de comicidad en diferentes instituciones y congresos como en el “II Congreso Internacional de Clown y Payamédicos” en la Facultad de Medicina (UBA).
Dicta talleres de entrenamiento y construcción del personaje cómico en la extensión cultural del Centro Cultural de la Cooperación y seminarios en el Centro Cultural Rojas (UBA).

Death of Norman Hetherington

We are very sad to inform you that Mr Norman Hetherington passed away after a long illness on Monday 6 December 2010.

Norman was most remembered for his pioneering work in Australian television with his show based on his puppet character Mr Squiggle.
Mr Squiggle first appeared in the late 50s, and which several generations of Australian children grew up with, being broadcast for over 42 years !.
Squiggle has a pencil for a nose and changed scribbles sent in by viewers into recognisable and mostly humorous drawings. Sometimes Squiggle drew sideways or upside-down.

Norman was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1990 for service to children's television programs and puppetry
He was a man whose involvement with puppetry was always motivated by a sense of fun and good humour.

A Video on Youtube

Norman was also very active in the formation of the UNIMA Australia Centre in its early years, and worked to encourage young performers, inspired them and set a benchmark for excellence.
He was president of the Puppetry Guild of NSW, which later changed to the Puppetry Guild of Australia, of which he was the NSW branch president, and was later president of UNIMA Australia (1970-1984).
He was a co-convenor of the original UNIMA Australia Scholarship to assist emerging puppeteers, and who was honoured at the UNIMA World Congress in Perth 2008, being bestowed Member of Honour.

"Zheng He" receives STELLA 2011

Judgement of the Jury:
The most surprising thing about the set design of "ZHENG HE - when the dragon ships came" is above all the interaction of intricately designed video application and the action on stage: A Chinese character is painted on paper and turns magically into a hip, video and actors engage in dialogue and break between screen and stage.
The animated films, video clips, shadow images and masks form a poetic space where the narrative part is taken further on the visual level.
The professional and multi-faceted use of new media in this production is outstanding in the field of theater for young audiences.

ENCHANTED SHADOWS
Chinese Colorful Shadow Puppetry
17 November 2011 to 27 February 2012

Austrian Theatre Museum
Palais Lobkowitz
Lobkowitzplatz, 2
1010 WIEN

Opening hour Wednesday to Monday
10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

http://www.theatermuseum.at

The Chinese shadow theater, hilarous, rambunctious, and mystifying, occupies a metaphoric realm that fuses the physical, sunlit world with the murky world of shadows. In the shadow theater, gods, demons, emperors, heroes, dragons, clowns, and lovers are all brought to life with light.
They exist on a stage that is somewhere between the theater of entertainment and the ritual of incantation.

Going back over 1,000 years, the shadow play is the first animated imagery, and certainly the precursor of film.
It is a folk art tradition that began in Shaanxi Province, the cradle of Chinese civilization, and it quickly took root as a form of entertainment. Combining music, singing, storytelling, smoke, fire, and complex puppetry, shadow theater eventually encompassed a wide dramatic range, from famous opera, myths, parables, and historical legends to farcical comedies and slapstick.

Without cultural boundaries, shadow play was, and still is, performed for the poor in rural villages and for the soldiers away from home, as well as for emperors in palaces. By the 13th century it had spread to Central and West Asia, by the 14th century to Persia, and in the 17th century, introduced by missionaries, the shadow play became popular in France.

In 1776 it was performed in Paris, and in 1774, Goethe introduced shadow theater at the Shenglan Exposition. Soon it was adapted to German myth and folklore.
An entertaining new exhibition at the Austrian Theatre Museum, "Enchanted Shadows: Chinese Colorful Puppetry Shadows explores this rich folk art tradition, which originated in Shaanxi Province.

Shadow-theater troupes can choose their repertory from more than 500 plays, which are often closely related to literature and Chinese operas. Among those represented in the exhibition are "Journey to the West," adapted from a Ming Dynasty novel about the monk Xuan Zang's pilgrimage to India, and "Madam White Snake", based on an ancient legend of a strong-willed woman who battles evil monks while pregnant. As the legend of Emperor Wu of Han suggests, shadow theater has always had a powerful connection to the afterlife.

The simplicity of the puppets' movements, coupled with the pure grace, beauty, and monumental grandeur of their forms and settings, provides for an exhibition that is enchanting as it is unforgettable. This exhibition makes an excellent argument for its continued survival.

Rapport du Centre Belge de l’UNIMA

Le Centre belge de l’UNIMA présidé par Ronny AELBRECHT tente d’établir des ponts entre les deux sections, flamande et francophone, de notre pays. C’est ainsi qu’un répertoire des troupes et compagnies belges, membres de l’UNIMA vient d’être édité dans trois langues afin de les aider à promouvoir leurs productions.

Par ailleurs une journée annuelle du Centre belge est en gestation. Une fois, les francophones seraient invités en Flandre pour assister à des spectacles donnés par des marionnettistes flamands tandis que, l’année suivante, les francophones accueilleraient leurs collègues flamands. La démarche a été lancée même si sa concrétisation n’est pas facile.
Le Centre belge participe, naturellement, à toutes les manifestations, congrès ou conseils, organisés par l’UNIMA internationale.

Le Centre belge rayonne, évidemment grâce aux initiatives de ses deux sections très actives dans leur Communauté respective.

La section francophone
La Section francophone poursuit la publication de sa revue «Marionnettes en Castelets» et de son périodique, plus modeste, mais plus en phase avec l’actualité «D’un Castelet à l’autre». Elle a aussi édité un fichier reprenant les différentes troupes et compagnies membres ainsi que des informations techniques sur les spectacles proposés.

Elle est à la base de la publication en français de l’ouvrage «Ô Miracle, les marionnettes !» rédigé par des membres de la Commission internationale «Marionnettes et Éducations». Pour réussir cette publication, le Centre belge a bénéficié de la précieuse collaboration de THEMAA, le Centre français de l’UNIMA.

La Section francophone collabore avec le Ministère de la Communauté Française de Belgique à la formation continuée des enseignants et plus spécialement à l’organisation de stages de marionnettes pour encourager les enseignants à utiliser les marionnettes dans le cadre de projets. Hubert ROMAN, Georges VETTERS, Edmond DEBOUNY sont impliqués dans ces formations.

Elle apporte aussi son appui à de multiples initiatives, festivals et autres manifestations.

De plus, en 2006, elle a organisé, pour la première fois, à Namur (Jambes) le «Bouquet de la Marionnette», une rencontre de 20 compagnies qui, en l’espace de quatre jours, ont présenté une vingtaine de spectacles. L’objectif de cette manifestation était de démontrer que le théâtre de marionnettes est un art universel, un art à part entière qui s’adresse à des personnes de tous âges, de tous milieux, de tous lieux.

Animés par la foi qui soulève les montagnes - trois membres dynamiques de la section francophone: Corinne BAILLEUX, Marcel ORBAN et Christian FERAUGE ont porté et concrétisé ce projet… malgré d’incontestables difficultés budgétaires, la Communauté Française de Belgique n’était pas très généreuse vis-à-vis des marionnettistes !

La section flamande (Opendoek)
Durant les vacances d’automne 2005, Opendoek a organisé «le Joyau national» des théâtres de marionnettes avec «CC de Spil» et la ville de Roeselare (Roulers).

Neuf théâtres de marionnettes ont concouru, après une interruption de 11 ans: Theater Tieret: «Eef je Donkerblauw»; Poppentejater Jejem Piron: «Een hele biezondere dag uit het luilekkerleven van Koning Klein»; Kindertheater Foesiemauw: «De nieuwe kleren van de keizer»; Poppentheater Pierewiet: «De Bremer stadsmuzikanten»; Poppentheater Ellebieke: «De koning zonder kroon»; Kinder- en Poppentheater Propop: «Ei,ei,ei….mijn vriendje is een ei»; Theater Top: «Boe»; Theater Barbar: «De Sociëteit der Degelijke Deugden»; Draadtheater Roeselare: «De kleine Sofie».

Un jury couronna la représentation du Theater Tiret avec le Joyau national. Le jury accorda aussi des prix spéciaux pour la scénographie de «Foesimauw» et au meilleur marionnettiste, Propop, pour «Ruud Alles». Le jury des enfants a choisi les représentations du Theater Tiret et du Draadtheater de Roeselare.

En parallèle au concours, cinq compagnies internationales ont été invitées à se produire: «Mister Punch» (Grande-Bretagne), «Mikropodium» (Hongrie), «Théâtre National d’Estonie» (Estonie), Philippe Genty (France) et le «Théâtre des Quatre Mains» (Belgique).

Lors de la remise des prix, le théâtre «Vlinders & Cie» a donné une représentation de «Ros» avec le quartet «Vier op de Rij»: une combinaison de théâtre de marionnettes et d’un concert de flutes.

La section flamande a organisé, en 2005, 4 cours, une exposition et un atelier d’été.

Durant le «Joyau National», Rosita Raud (Estonie) a donné un cours sur la scénographie, Maria Petrova (Bulgarie), une formation sur la fabrication de marionnettes. Le théâtre «Het Koffertje» a donné un cours pour les enfants de maternelle et un pour ceux de primaire: ils ont fabriqué des marionnettes… et ont joué avec.

Dans le même temps, une exposition sur les marionnettes bulgares et la scénographie était présentée au musée Blomme.
Par contre l’atelier d’été a dû être annulé faute d’inscriptions en suffisance.

Opendoek a promu le théâtre de marionnettes en organisant au moins 6 manifestations sous les noms de «Marionnettes à la mer» et «Kids@zee» à Oostende, «Pop en top» à Beveren, «Poppenzaal» à Tournhout, «De Poppentovertrein» à Lier, et «Hoppelapop» à Sint-Truiden (Saint-Trond). De nombreuses compagnies membres ont participé à ces animations.

Une nouvelle organisation a vu le jour à Leuven (Louvain, Brabant flamand) sous le nom de «Pompelpoes».

Un théâtre de marionnettes, au moins, a pris part aux organisations théâtrales d’Opendoek tant aux fêtes du parc à Lokeren qu’à «Spots of West».

Dans la publication «Op&doek» 2006 figuraient deux contributions sur le théâtre de marionnettes.

Enfin, à Ieper (Ypres) fut organisée, cette année, à la fin septembre, une exposition sur les marionnettes chinoises tandis que des troupes membres de l’Unima Vlaanderen ont donné 11 représentations pour quelques 1 600 enfants.

On le voit, le Centre belge de l’UNIMA et ses deux sections ont été très actifs dans tout le pays!

A.B.T.B - ASSOCIAÇÃO BRASILEIRA DE TEATRO DE BONECOS - CENTRO UNIMA BRASIL

Editorial

Aos Bonecos e seus bonequeiros !
 Estão de parabéns os bonecos: de fio, luva, vareta, marrote, sombra e todos os outros que a cada dia se renovam e renascem muitas vezes das cinzas, dos trecos, dos cacarecos...
Devemos mesmo aprender com os bonecos. Veja como estão sempre prontos a entrar em cena! Sempre generosos e companheiros colaborando com nossa sobrevivência e transcendência.
Já pensaram se fôssemos assim de... Madeira, papel machê, de espuma, de pano?! Era só substituir um pedaço velho, magoado, ofendido, por um novo bem colado, recosturado. Fios novos, novas varetas, luvas refeitas, novos encaixes dos dedos.
Os bonecos, seus bonequeiros... Todos sentados numa grande mesa desse imenso ateliê que é a vida.

UM PRODUTIVO ANO DE 2008 !
São os votos da diretoria da ABTB/Centro UNIMA- Brasil

Homenagem

O Teatro de Bonecos, mais uma vez, de luto

Com tristeza, mais uma vez, noticiamos o falecimento de Odila Cardoso de Sena, aos 94 anos, pioneira do teatro de marionetes no Rio Grande do Sul, professora de artes e fundadora do TIM Teatro de Marionetes em 1954.
Dona Odila confeccionou 80 bonecos de fio com a preocupação que cada um fosse distinto do outro, cada boneco com características próprias com riqueza de detalhes nos figurinos, modelagem e pintura. Também criava os números para as marionetes pensando na melhor maneira de manipulá-los.
Seus bonecos seguem trabalhando pelas mãos de seus filhos, nora, netos e quem sabe seus bisnetos.
A ABTB e todos os bonequeiros do Brasil expressam sentimento de carinho e conforto a toda família de Dona Odília Cardoso de Sena.

2007 FOI UM BOM ANO
Algumas conquistas coletivas merecem registro

1 - Dando continuidade ao projeto da Diretoria anterior, a primeira etapa do registro do Mamulengo como patrimônio imaterial brasileiro já está aprovada pelo IPHAN e tem início em fevereiro de 2008.

2 - A realização do II Abrace o Boneco Brasil - Seminário sobre formação em teatro de Bonecos em convênio com a Funarte conquistado por meio da Bonecos em Ação, instituição dirigida pela companheira Susanita Freire e a continuidade de parceria com a Secretaria da Cultura de São José dos Pinhais-PR e a Secretaria de Estado da Cultura do Paraná.

3 - Início das discussões sobre a criação dos Centros de Referência em Teatro de Bonecos nos Estados.

4 - Encaminhamento do pedido de parcelamento da dívida da ABTB com o TCU em Recife.

5 - Quitação da divida ABTB com a Unima. (período 2003 a 2006)

6 - Escolha das candidatas Susanita Freire, Izabela Brochado e Ana Maria Allendes (Chile) para eleição do Comitê Executivo da Unima, para o período 2008-2012, que acontecerá no Congresso a ser realizado em Perth (Austrália) em abril de 2008.

7 - Pagamento da cota UNIMA 2007. A partir de este ano a ABTB tem direito a 2 Conselheiros, com direito a voto, no Congresso UNIMA.

Aquele Abraço !

II ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL - Seminário sobre Formação em Teatro de Bonecos

Resumo

De 14 a 18 de novembro de 2007, na cidade de São José dos Pinhais foi realizado o II ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL - Seminário sobre formação em teatro de bonecos, dando continuidade ao projeto de garantir para os bonequeiros ligados à ABTB um espaço permanente de reflexão, confraternização e troca de importantes informações para o desenvolvimento da arte do Teatro de Bonecos no Brasil.

Em 2006 o I ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL inaugurou a série desses encontros com o seminário “o boneco na sociedade brasileira”, abrindo ampla pauta de discussões que permitiram a estruturação do plano de ação da ABTB para o biênio 2006/2008, elegendo 3 eixos de atuação: Memória, formação e fomento.

O II ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL teve como foco a formação básica do bonequeiro brasileiro e pretendeu por meio de palestras, debates, espetáculos e oficinas para comunidade reunir idéias para a criação de diretrizes que possibilitem uma formação básica de qualidade para o artista e qualquer cidadão que deseje enveredar pelos amplos caminhos do teatro de bonecos no Brasil.
O Mamulengo teve forte presença no evento, contribuindo com as discussões sobre formação e enriquecendo a programação do II ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL contando com a participação do mamulengueiro Josivan de Daniel, filho de Chico Daniel, técnicos do IPHAN e pesquisadores bonequeiros que estão envolvidos no projeto de registro do mamulengo no livro das formas e expressões do IPHAN.

O II ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL , contou com a presença de artistas, estudiosos e representantes de 10 estados brasileiros (RS, RN, SC, PR, RJ, MG, BA, DF, PE, PB, CE).
Também homenageou 3 importantes bonequeiros que passaram para o infinito espetáculo celeste, nos deixando com saudades em 2007: Chico Daniel (Rio Grande do Norte - Brasil), Pepe Otal (Barcelona-Espanha) e Hector Grillo (Córdoba - Argentina)

ABTB/ Plano de Ação

Eixo formação:
Conforme conversamos durante o II Abrace o Boneco Brasil, ficamos de encaminhar documento para os órgãos públicos na intenção de chamar a atenção para a importância de ativarmos em todo o Brasil um processo de formação básica de qualidade em Teatro de Bonecos, principalmente no que se refere às oficinas de iniciação.
Este processo pretende não só capacitar novos bonequeiros como também dar sustentabilidade ao movimento bonequeiro nacional por meio da criação dos centros de referência de teatro de bonecos.
As associações estaduais se responsabilizarão pela coordenação e em manter ativos esses centros com apoio e parcerias possíveis no setor público e privado.
Os CERTB (centro de referência em teatro de bonecos) podem também realizar parcerias com Ongs, pontos de cultura, escolas etc..
Em anexo ao boletim segue as diretrizes para formações tiradas durante as discussões sobre formação no II ABRACE O BONECO BRASIL. Quem tiver sugestão e comentários sobre essas diretrizes para serem utilizadas em oficinas de formação pode escrever para: abtbon@uol.com.br.
No site também deveremos ter um espaço para formação com links para escolas de teatro de bonecos, cursos universitários e para os CRTBs (centros de referência de teatro de bonecos nos estados) quando eles existirem é claro.

Eixo memória:
Aline Buzato (secretária da ABTB) solicita material para o início do mapeamento e da guarda da memória do Teatro de Bonecos no Brasil. No nosso site teremos um espaço reservado à memória dos mestres bonequeiros brasileiros e do movimento em cada estado, como um museu virtual.
Se você é um pesquisador no seu estado ou conheceu mestres bonequeiros, que nos deixaram relevante contribuição, por favor, envie material (fotos, resumo histórico) para alinebusato@yahoo.com.br

Eixo fomento/circulação:
Vamos batalhar em todas as esferas do poder público: federal, estadual e municipal a inclusão de editais específicos para a produção e circulação do teatro de Bonecos. A ABTB vai encaminhar documento para Funarte, solicitando: editais de produção, circulação, apoio a festivais, concurso de dramaturgia e apoio à pesquisa e publicações específicas. Em Curitiba já conquistamos um bom espaço de fomento à produção por meio da APTB (Associação Paranaense de Teatro de Bonecos) com a Fundação Cultural do município.

Yukiza, Teatro de Bonecos

Grupo secular chega ao Brasil para apresentações

Com uma história de mais de 370 anos, a companhia de teatro de marionetes de Edo, Yukiza, realiza pela primeira vez uma turnê pelo Brasil em fevereiro.
Organizado pela Fundação Japão, as apresentações serão nas cidades de Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília e São Paulo, respectivamente. Também serão ministrados workshops para interessados.
Fundada por Yuki Magosaburo I durante o período Edo (1603-1868), Yukiza é o mais antigo grupo de teatro de marionetes de Edo do Japão e é atualmente liderada por Magosaburo XII.
Para a turnê, participam 14 membros da companhia, sendo que oito são manipuladores de bonecos.

Duas peças do seu repertório clássico serão apresentadas ao público brasileiro: "Shinpan Utazaimon - Nozakimura no Dan" (A Vila Nozaki), onde é retratado o romance impossível entre dois jovens, e "Tsuna-Yakata" (A Casa de Tsuna), peça onde é narrada a briga de um guerreiro de Kyoto com um demônio perspicaz.

Histórico
A companhia começou com interpretações de sutras budistas, acompanhadas de narrativa e música de shamisen. Com um teatro permanente na capital do país, em 1956 Yukiza foi designado como um importante bem cultural pelo Governo Metropolitano de Tóquio, ganhando também reconhecimento do governo nacional, em 1995.
Além de peças tradicionais, produz atualmente novos trabalhos e os divulga no exterior, como Europa, Ásia Central, Sudeste Asiático e União Soviética. Um dos prêmios recebidos é pela versão de "Macbeth" de Shakespeare, apresentado em 1986 no Festival Internacional de Teatro de Belgrado.

MINAS GERAIS !

ATEBEMG já está no ar: http://www.orassociados.com/atebemg

Para este ano de 2008, esperamos encher de bonecos o Estado de Minas Gerais.
Além da Atebemg com um novo projeto coletivo, vários grupos tiveram projetos aprovados na Lei Estadual e Municipal de Incentivo à Cultura.

Atebemg - Garimpo de Histórias e Manutenção de Atebemg - um projeto conjunto para participação de todos os associados.
Nesta nova empreitada, além da manutenção do espaço físico (estamos alugando um novo), vamos realizar o projeto Garimpo de Histórias no interior do estado:
Na primeira etapa vamos ter um primeiro contato com crianças das escolas públicas, por meio de palestra sobre o teatro de bonecos e apresentação de cenas curtas e no término vamos propor que nos enviem histórias e personagens que gostariam de ver no teatro.
Na segunda etapa, de posse destas sugestões, vamos fazer uma oficina de dramaturgia, para transformar estas idéias em roteiros.
Na terceira etapa os grupos voltam às cidades e ministram uma oficina de longa duração com pessoas do local, para montar a história selecionada.
Quem quiser mais detalhes entre em contato com: mcrosiere@gmail.com

Grupo Caixa 4 - Tropeiros e Cantigas - montagem e circulação de um espetáculo que conta a saga dos tropeiros que percorriam o interior do Brasil.

Grupo Matraca - O Anjo Aleijadinho - montagem e circulação de um espetáculo que conta a história de Aleijadinho, o mestre escultor mineiro, de uma forma delicada e com final surpreendente.

Grupo Aldeia - Histórias com Bonecos, Trecos e Objetos - montagem e circulação de um novo espetáculo, recheado de estórias e fantasia.

Paulinho Polika - Circo Teatro Vagalume um espetáculo de sombras, contanto estórias escritas por Leonardo da Vinci.

FÉRIAS ANIMADAS 2008
A APTB recebeu o Prêmio Myriam Muniz com o projeto FÉRIAS ANIMADAS.
Espetáculos oferecidos ao público nos parques de Curitiba em palcos sobre rodas (um ônibus-palco, um carroção-palco e uma tenda-palco).
Também foram realizados espetáculos em hospitais, asilos de idosos e orfanatos.
Debaixo de uma grande lona que protegia todo público e artistas.
Foi oferecido além dos espetáculos, Oficinas para crianças, adolescentes, bonequeiros e artistas em geral.
Foi realizado ainda o Seminário “Teatro de Bonecos - Formas Animadas”.
Foram 30 dias de muito trabalho, onde a APTB restaurou sua alma, gerando trabalho e animação para todos que fazem Teatro de Bonecos, assistem e, enfim, todos que amam a arte.
Para nós que acreditamos na “associação” como ideal, foi bom mais uma vez enxergar aqueles que realmente estão dispostos ao trabalho coletivo. VIVA A APTB, VIVAAAA !!!

Report on the Activity of the Czech UNIMA Centre in 2005

The activity of the Centre consisted like each year of more or less important events organized by the Centre for its members and for the wider puppetry community.

A friendly meeting of puppeteers and art lovers took place in the Prague Castle's Lobkowitz Palace in March as a tribute to the long-time UNIMA member Mrs.

Milada Trčková on the occasion of the end of the exhibition Academic Artist Milada Trčková - Life like in a Fairytale.
For the third time already, our Centre has initiated the celebration of the Puppet Theatre Day (21 March) based on the invitation of the UNIMA secretariat. An Open Day was organized on this occasion in the Museum of Puppetry Cultures in Chrudim.

The World Puppetry Day was commemorated at a press conference on 16/3/2005.

An important social meeting of the Czech UNIMA Board and of almost half the members of the Executive of UNIMA International took place in June at the Mateřinka 2005 festival of professional puppet theatres.

Besides the Czech members of the Board, the festival guests included also observers from four continents - Canada, Croatia, Slovenia, Australia, Denmark, Spain, Iran and Slovakia representing artistic institutions, festivals and the UNIMA organization headed by its Secretary General, Mr. Miguel Arreche.

The events included also the meeting of the UNIMA's Committee for International Festivals whose chairman is Stanislav Doubrava, UNIMA's vice-president and director of the Naïve Theatre in Liberec.

The Centre also participated in the preparation of the 15th annual festival One Flew over the Puppeteer's Nest (4–6/11/2005) and organized the UNIMA's regular annual General Meeting where it informed the members on the activity of the Centre and its plans for the future. A debate on the subject of "The Problems of the Czech Puppet Theatre" took place within the General Meeting.

The Board organized again the survey of puppetry specialists regarding the UNIMA Erik Award 2005.
The award was officially granted to the winner within the scope of the festival One Flew over the Puppeteer's Nest on Saturday; the winner was the DNO ensemble with the production Circus.

Based on personal visits of foreign puppeteers and on written inquiries, the Centre provided information on the history and the present of the Czech amateur and professional puppetry and on the possibilities of study at the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre of the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (KALD AMU) and it recommended programmes and ensured tickets to theatres and contacts to the performers, as needed.

Dead of Jan Dvořák

The sad news is the passing of our dear puppet master and friend - puppeteer, director and honorary member of UNIMA, Jan Dvořák, in the Czech Republic on 16 January 2006.
Dvořák can also be found at the roots of many famous theatre productions in the field of modern Czech puppetry.
When Josef Skupa was still alive, Dvořák was one of the members of the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theatre and was one of the initiators of the young group, Salamandr in this theatre.

He later became director of the legendary DRAK Theatre, where he worked for many years, producing incredible puppet theatre, throughout Europe and around the world.
For several years, Dvořák was an excellent pedagogue at the puppet theatre academy in Prague, and worked as one of the first pedagogues in the International Puppetry Institute in Charleville Mézieres.
He realised his first exhibit at the Museum of Puppet Culture in Chrudim, and was an indispensable lector of a series of seminars for amateur puppeteers.
He is a superb technician, artist, author, designer and director, and has educated many of the Czech Republic’s finest puppeteers, as well as instructed pupils from countries such as Germany, Bulgaria, Norway, Canada and South Africa.

All his students, friends and co-workers remember him as the initiator of several significant puppet theatre projects, such as the first international project after 1945 “Janošík”, where he united puppet theatres from Czechoslovakia and Poland.

EXHIBITION - SYMPOSIUM - MEETING
on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Erik Kolár

In April 2006, there was a commemoration in Prague of the outstanding man of theatre and unforgettable personality of Czech modern puppetry - Dr. Erik Kolár.

His personality is connected not only with the Czech pre-war puppetry (he was active as a director and dramaturge in the Prague foremost amateur society Umělecká výchova) but, most of all, with the post-war era.
He was a dramaturge of the Prague Central Puppet Theatre where he brought as new authors a number of foremost Czech writers.
He is remembered by several generations of students as a teacher who guided their first steps in art and life.

A number of events were held on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth:
The National Museum in Prague prepared the exhibition ERIK KOLÁR AND THE WORLD OF PUPPETS that was installed in the exhibition rooms of the Lobkowitz Palace at Prague Castle and opened on 7 April 2006 at 5:30 p.m.

The opening ceremony followed by a dramatic performance I HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE about the life and work of Erik Kolár.

The exhibition will last until the end of June.
A SYMPOSIUM ON THE LIFE AND WORK OF ERIK KOLÁR prepared jointly by the management of the Theatre Faculty and the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre was held the next day after the opening of the exhibition.

This event took place on 8 April 2006 at 10:00 a.m. in the Haller Hall of the Theatre Faculty in Karlova Street in Prague.

Several prominent guests from among Kolár's students, UNIMA members who worked with him in the Presidium, former members of the teaching staff of the DAMU Puppetry Department and his closest friends are invited to these celebration events by the Theatre Academy of Performing Arts (DAMU) and the Association of Professional Puppeteers.

Official announcement from the Northern Eastern European Centre for Puppet Arts (NEECPA)

We’re happy to announce that in consequences of Nordic meeting in St Petersburg on the 25^th of June 2011, we have founded The Northern and Eastern European Centre for Puppet Arts (NEECPA).

This organisation gives much better possibilities to gain support for our communication, gatherings and organising festivals at Northern and Eastern European countries in future.
For now we've founded NEECPA as sovereign organisation, not as a part of UNIMA, but we should certainly cooperate with UNIMA very closely as we share the same goals.
The members of NEECPA can be all national UNIMA centres of the region, but also theatres and other organisations from the region, who are making their contribution to puppetry.

The charters of NEECPA are in English and in Russian.

If you’d like to know more about the membership, please don’t hesitate to ask questions from us !
If you have made the decision already, please fill the Application forms in English or Russian for your organisation and send it back to us by email or by mail.

THEMAA
Un art en mouvement

L’art de la marionnette
Le spectacle de marionnette repose sur un phénomène d’illusion consentie.
Ce phénomène a longtemps cantonné la marionnette au jeune public. En effet, l’enfant accepte pleinement le jeu en accueillant volontiers cette illusion.
La position du public adulte est différente. Devant le théâtre de marionnettes, l’adulte est partagé entre l’attrait et le retrait. Il a tendance à se préserver instinctivement du plaisir de l’ensorcellement. Mais en retour, il a le loisir d’y exercer les facettes de son jugement.

Le théâtre de marionnettes est un lieu où acteurs et spectateurs sont en intelligence.

Par le théâtre de marionnettes, le public adulte s’incorpore l’esprit de créativité passionnée de l’enfant. Et l’enfant accède à la tempérance enjouée de l’adulte. Le public en est changé. Et l’art change à son tour… C’est une des raisons pour lesquelles l’art de la marionnette est l’un des plus vivants sur la scène nationale et internationale.

En tant que structure professionnelle, THEMAA entend défendre la légitimité de ce phénomène afin de répondre à la détermination des artistes: jouer pour chacun.

THEMAA
La marionnette est l’art transdisciplinaire par excellence. L’addition du talent d’artistes professionnels caractérise cet art. THEMAA y puise sa fonction représentative et se désigne comme le «Théâtre de Marionnettes et des Arts Associés».
THEMAA fédère aujourd’hui plus de 200 compagnies et artistes indépendants, dramaturges, plasticiens, metteurs en scène, acteurs et amateurs de cet art.…

THEMAA fédère également la plupart des lieux de formation, des structures de programmation et des festivals dédiés à ce domaine.
THEMAA est le centre français de l’UNIMA.

Cette solidarité fait de THEMAA un outil de relation et d’influence sur le territoire et auprès des tutelles. C’est un indispensable foyer de connaissance et de reconnaissance et un organe de transmission d’informations, de rencontres et de d’échanges.

Un dispositif éditorial
Des dispositifs d’information, des publications sont les supports d’échanges intellectuels

Un journal trimestriel: MANIP
MANIP relaie les informations du monde la marionnette, crée des passerelles vers les arts associés, l’international, les écrits théoriques et rend compte de l’évolution de cet art au regard de réflexions plus larges sur le monde de la création contemporaine.
Themaa édite des hors-série de MANIP pour couvrir un champ spécifique et témoigner des chantiers mis en œuvre par l’association.
MANIP comprend un espace dédié aux créations ainsi qu’un agenda qui fait état des tournées, festivals et programmations de lieux permanents adhérents à l’association.

Des publications
Les carnets de la marionnette collectent des études sur des sujets essentiels: «Les fondamentaux de la marionnette», «Pédagogie et formation», «Actualité du Patrimoine».
L’encyclopédie fragmentée de la marionnette paraîtra en 2009.
Chaque numéro se focalise sur une des personnalités du monde de la marionnette ou développe un thème documenté.

Un site Internet
Complémentaire au journal, le site Internet constitue une plate-forme d’informations à destination du grand public et des professionnels.

La lettre d’information
Afin d’informer au mieux ses adhérents, la lettre d’information fait état des projets de THEMAA, des « Saisons de la marionnette » et de l’actualité de l’UNIMA. Elle recueille les initiatives en régions, informe des politiques nationales, diffuse les appels à candidature…

Des actions
Des actions ponctuelles à visée pérenne développent la connaissance de l’art de la marionnette par le jeu de la démonstration thématique ou de la représentation.

Les Rencontres nationales
Les Rencontres nationales permettent un échange expérimental. Elles se font l’écho d’une profession ouverte à la transdisciplinarité. Les marionnettistes coexistent de fait avec les dramaturges, les plasticiens, les vidéastes…

Pour 2010, s’organisent les Rencontres nationales «Marionnettes et Musiques».

Les états généraux de la marionnette
Afin de questionner cette discipline en présence de tous les acteurs qui la constituent - artistes, producteurs, diffuseurs et universitaires - se sont tenus les premiers états généraux de la marionnette qui ont ouvert les Saisons de la marionnette les 4 et 5 Avril 2008 à Strasbourg.

La Scène des chercheurs
Des passerelles entre le monde de la recherche universitaire et les praticiens permettent une observation nouvelle des arts de la marionnette.
Une première rencontre «Recherche et marionnette» s’est tenue à l’automne 2008 à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

Les journées professionnelles
La dramaturgie contemporaine associée au théâtre de marionnettes est sans cesse questionnée.
A l’initiative de compagnies et de THEMAA, ces journées sont des moments de débats et de démonstrations entre auteurs et artistes.

THEMAA suscite, propose et participe régulièrement à des rencontres à l’occasion d’événements, de festivals, de manifestations en régions afin d’être au cœur de la profession.

Des événements
THEMAA est le maître d’œuvre des «Saisons de la marionnette»

Cinq groupes de travail sont constitués, regroupant une centaine de participants: «Formation»; «ProfessionS»; «Création-production-diffusion»; «Recherche-patrimoine-édition»; «Communication».

De ces groupes sont issus des projets cohérents: citons les Centres de Développement des Arts de la marionnette (lieux de compagnonnage), les «Points de vue» (la marionnette sous le regard de néophytes), TAM TAM (temps des arts de la marionnette du 14 au 18 Octobre 2009).

De nouveaux partenaires régionaux et nationaux se joignent à ce mouvement en y associant leurs identités, leurs convictions, leurs publics ou leurs savoir-faire.

Autonomie et cohésion
THEMAA s’appuie sur l’indépendance des points de vue et le respect des identités des artistes et des institutions pour rendre compte de la diversité créative des Arts de la Marionnette et ainsi promouvoir leur reconnaissance pérenne dans cet éclectisme.
Edward Gordon Craig parlait de la marionnette comme d’un «modèle de l’art en mouvement».

Aujourd’hui, par le rassemblement qu’il opère, THEMAA en est l’initiateur, l’un des acteurs premiers et le témoin.

UNIMA Allemagne sort un numéro spécial du DaT en collaboration avec le PuK (Museum für PuppentheaterKulktur) et la maison d’édition Puppen & Masken: „Bross 100“ (63 pages avec de nombreuses illustrations de ses marionnettes pour le théâtre et la télévision).

Fritz Herbert Bross (1910-1976), un des fabricants de marionnettes allemands les plus connus, aurait fêté son 100ème anniversaire cette année. Après avoir étudié l’article de Kleist sur le théâtre de marionnettes, il a complètement révolutionné la fabrication et le jeu des marionnettes dans l’Allemagne d’après guerre. Il a développé la croix qui permet de manipuler les différentes parties de la marionnette ainsi que la technique de jeu selon les lois du mouvement pendulaire; ses marionnettes atteignaient par leurs mouvements une grâce indescriptible. Bross a transmis son savoir dans de nombreux cours. Son élève le plus important, Albrecht Roser, l’a fait connaître sur le plan international.

L’exposition „Bross 100 - Ein hundert Figuren aus Meisterhand“ se tient au PuK du 2 septembre 2010 au 30 janvier 2011 et est accompagnée par une série de conférences et de représentations à caractère historique.

The 23rd International Paper Theatre Gathering is taking place in Preetz from 10-12 September 2010.
70 performances by 17 companies from 10 countries make up the programme.
Joining Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Austria this year are Mexico, the USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain and France.

Founded in 1988, the festival takes place every year during the second weekend in September in Preetz, an historical small town in northern Germany. While larger paper theatre festivals have been established in France and Canada in the meantime, artists still love to gather in Preetz.

As well as performances, specialist literature, models, antique prints and workshops are also on offer.

In co-operation with PuK - the Museum for Puppet Theatre Culture - and the publishing house Puppen & Masken, UNIMA Germany is releasing a Das andere Theater magazine (DaT) Special Edition: "Bross 100" (63 pages, numerous pictures of his puppets for stage and television).

Fritz Herbert Bross, (2.9.1910 – 26.5.1976), one of the most well-known German marionette makers, would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. After reading Heinrich von Kleist's essay "On Marionette Theatre", Bross radically revolutionised marionette construction and performance in Germany post-1945. He developed control designs and performance techniques in accordance with the laws of pendular motion; his marionettes achieved an indescribable grace of movement. He passed on his experise in countless workshops. His most significant pupil, who also succeeded in bringing his teacher international recognition, was Albrecht Roser.

The Special Exhibition "Bross 100 - one hundred figures from the master's hands" offers the public lectures and historical productions from 2 September 2010 until 30 January 2011.

Le Musée de la Ville de Munich présente l’exposition Halt! „Die Klappe“ - Mechanisches Theater Göttingen du 12 février 2010 au 30 janvier 2011
«Die Klappe» a été fondé en 1957 par Ben Vornholt. Inspiré du Bauhaus d’avant 1933, des sculptures mobiles du danseur et artiste Harry Kramer et de l’art kinétique et de la musique concrète des années 60, le groupe a développé son propre langage.

En 1962, lors du congrès UNIMA à Varsovie, «Die Klappe» reçoit deux prix d’un coup. A partir de 1977, le groupe se produit sur la scène internationale, et ce jusqu’en 1997. Le fonds de l’exposition est une donation faite à la ville de Munich.

Du 11 au 19 septembre 2010 a lieu pour la 27ème fois à Husum le festival international de la marionnette. A cette occasion, des artistes venus d’Allemagne, du Danemark, de Belgique et du Luxembourg joueront près de 60 pièces.

Cette année le programme tournera autour du thème «littérature et théâtre de marionnettes»: on retrouvera Mark Twain, Lew. N. Tolstoi, Michael Ende, mais aussi Astrid Lindgren, H.C. Andersen et des contes des frères Grimm.

Le tout sera accompagné par une exposition de marionnettes de Fritz Herbnert Bross et des Danois Dänen Astrid Bernth et Lars Ringgaard.

The Munich City Museum is displaying the special exhibition "Halt! 'Die Klappe' - Mechanical Theatre, Goettingen from 12 February 2010 - 30 January 2011.
«Die Klappe» was founded by Ben Vornholt in 1957. Inspired by pre-1933 Bauhaus, the mechanical figurines of the dancer and artist Harry Kramer, the kinetic art and the music of the 60's, the group developed their own visual language.

"Die Klappe" won two awards at the UNIMA Congress 1962 in Warsaw. The group performed internationally from 1977 to 1997, at which time their archive was presented to the town of Munich.

The town Husum will host its popular International puppet theatre festival for the 27th time from 11-19 September 2010. Companies from Germany, Denmark, Belgium and Luxembourg will stage almost 60 performances.

The theme for this year is "literature and puppet theatre". Works from Mark Twain, Leo Tolstoy, Michael Ende and Astrid Lindgen will be performed as well as tales from Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm.

An exhibition of puppets by Fritz Herbert Bross (Germany), Astrid Bernth und Lars Ringgaard (Denmark) will accompany the live performances

Bottrop participe à l’évènement Kulturhauptstadt RUHR.2010 TWINS en organisant une «Kasperiade».
Les villes partenaires de Bottrop, Veszprém en Hongrie, Blackpool en Grande Bretagne et Tourcoing en France, prennent part au programme: Partant de l’idée que ces villes se trouvent dans des pays qui ont produit leurs propres «Kaspers», Maja et Werner Bartelt-Brüggemeier (du théâtre de marionnettes Sonstwo) et le service culturel de Bottrop ont voulu que ces figures comiques se rencontrent.

A cette occasion se tient un festival international du théâtre de marionnettes en trois blocs, dans lesquels la figure comique est au centre de nombreuses représentations et d’un symposium:
Du 7 au 9 Mars:
Représentations d’Allemagne, de Hongrie et de Turquie
Symposium autour du thème «La figure comique - une approche comparative», avec les théâtres Kaboca, Cengiz Özek, Frieder Paasche, Silke Technau
Du 3 au 10 Septembre:
Représentations de Grande Bretagne, d’Allemagne et de Hongrie
Du 28 au 30 Novembre:
Représentations de Commedia dell’arte

Inauguration de l’exposition «Kasper / Figure comique» avec des artistes contemporains venus des villes partenaires

La ville de Lübeck héberge l’immense collection Fritz Fey jun., une collection privée jusqu’aujourd’hui encore trop peu connue sur le théâtre de marionnettes en Europe jusque dans les années 60, le théâtre de marionnettes et surtout le théâtre d’ombres en Asie et le théâtre de marionnettes à caractère religieux en Afrique.

Le catalogage de cette collection sera entrepris dès la fin de cette année et sera peu à peu rendu accessible au public sur Internet. Une exposition permanente d’une partie de cette collection se tient depuis environ 30 ans dans la vieille ville de Lübeck.

The town Bottrop is participating in the event Cultural Capital Ruhr 2010 TWINS with a Kasperiade (Kasper is the German equivalent of Punch, UK, or Pulcinella, Italy).
Bottrop is twinned with Vesprém, Hungary, Blackpool, UK and Tourcoing, France: all four towns are joining forces for the event. Starting from the coincidence that all of the partner towns belong to countries which have their own traditional comic puppet characters, Maja and Werner Bartelt-Brüggemeier (Figurentheater Sonstwo) developed the idea in co-operation with the Bottrop Kulturamt of having these figures meet each other.

As part of the Kaspariade, an international puppet theatre festival will take place in three installments spaced throughout the year, during which the "comic figure" will be explored in symposiums and performance.
7-9 March:
Performances from Germany, Hungary and Turkey,
Symposium: "A comparative exploration of the 'comic figure'" with Figurentheater Kaboca, Cengiz Özek, Frieder Paasche, Silke Technau
3-10 September:
Performances from Great Britain, Germany, Hungary
28-30 November:
Performances of Commedia dell’arte

Exhibition opening "Kasper / Comic Figure" With international contemporary artists from the partner towns.

The Hanseatic League town of Lübeck accommodates the enormous, yet largely unheard-of private collection of Fritz Fey Jr. The collection is a treasure trove of artifacts relating to puppet theatre in Europe from 16th century until the 1960s, puppet and shadow theatre in Asia and religiously influenced puppet theatre in Africa.

The collection will be gradually catalogued and made publicly available via the Internet starting at the end of this year. The Permanent Exhibition representing only a fraction of the total collection has been on display for the last 30 years in the old town centre of Lübeck.

With great grief we have to inform you that Rolf Mäser died in old age. He had been a board member of UNIMA GDR for many years and is therefore probably still known personally by many of you.

We also mourn for Karl-Heinz Rother, a great collector of puppets. He had passed on his collection a few years back to the city of Bad Kreuznach which installed a museum for puppetry Museum für Puppentheaterkultur (PUK) based on this collection. He was a great and successful advocate for the fact that puppets should not just be displayed in glass show cases but like in any other exhibition puppetry exhibits should be presented in a meaningful and attractive way. It was important for him to present puppet theatre In a way that the dramaturgy of the exhibition becomes apparent.

UNIMA Germany currently has 407 members.

Publications of UNIMA Germany:

We publish the magazine „Das andere Theater“ regularly 3 times a year. Each issue has a special topic. This topic is known far in advance so that members and other interested writers can submit articles.

Topics of the last issues:

No. 70 Paper and Toy theatre

No. 71 - no special topic -

No. 72 Amateur Puppetry

No. 73 Literature and Puppetry

No. 74 Effect of Puppets

No. 75 Puppet makers of the 20th century - working title (commemorating the 100th anniversary of Fritz Herbert Bross) - to be published in September 2010

UNIMA Germany has 7 working groups which intensively follow the spirit of UNIMA and move it to public awareness.

Working Group

Deutscher Kulturrat (german cultural council):

This council coaches representatives of German Cutural Afffairs.

For the allocation of subsidies - for which all strands of the arts fight facing ongoing cuts in this sector

- the public acknowledgement of puppetry art is vital. UNIMA Germany specifically supports the implementation of the medium puppetry in drama classes in schools.

It points out continually the broad variety of contemporary puppet theatres in Germany.

Contact: Frieder Paasche

Working Group

Puppet theatre and Research:

We counselled the opening of the International „Kasperiade“ in Bottrop within the framework of „Kulturhauptstadt

RUHR 2010 TWINS“ and the first symposium „The Funny Character in Puppetry in Europe. A

comparative study“ with participants from Hungary, Turkey and Germany was accompanied with a talk

and a representative for the podium.

Further talks and events are planned in September, 5-10th: „The funny character in politics“ and in November, 27-29th: The funny character and its educational significance“.

In Magdeburg, a Mitteldeutsches Figurentheaterzentrum (centre for puppet theatre in mid-Germany) is planned. The building will soon start as an extension of the existing Puppentheater Magdeburg. Courses, an archive for central German puppet theatres, shows and festivals will shape the profile of this centre.

The TheaterFigurenMuseum Luebeck published a new catalogue of its exhibits. Special publications are planned to slowly make the enormous resources of this museum accessible to the public.

Contact: Silke Technau

Working Group

Amateurs:

Amateur puppeteers are organised regionally in Germany (see addresses below). They are organising workshops, shows and festivals where amateur and professional productions are shown.

Contact: Rita Berg, Angelika Albrecht-Schaffer, Peter Räcker, Angelika Pauels

Working Group

Puppetry and Education:

A festival for school puppetry groups is held biennially in Theater der Nacht in Northeim- organised by Ruth Brockhausen.

In Bochum - organised by the dfp led by Annette Dabs - the Fritz-Wortelmann-Preis is awarded to School and Amateur puppetry productions.

Contact: Inga Hartmann, Hartmut Fischer

Working Group

Shadow Theatre:

The international centre for shadow theatre is led by Rainer Reusch; he currently tries to initiate a museum for shadow puppets in Schwaebisch-Gmuend. He passed on the organisation of his successful festival, held every three years in Schwaebisch-Gmuend to Sabine Hirtzel who had assisted him before. In October 2009 another successful edition of this festival took place.

Recently a division of this working group formed in Hannover, which is also organising an international festival. The first two happened in 2007 and 2009.

Contact: Rainer Reusch, Frieder Paasche

Working Group

Puppetry in Therapy was initiated in March 2010 at the AGM.

Contact: Barbara Scheel

Working Group

„Road of Puppetry“:

The aim is to create an internet map on which puppet theatres, venues, and puppetry museums in Germany can be found. Denmark, Norway and Latvia are joining this project.

Contact: Ruth Brockhausen

Cooperations with other organisations and associations:

In cooperation with Verband deutscher Puppentheater e.V., the Association of Professional German Puppet Theatres, we published the broshure „Figurentheater entdecken“ (Discover Puppetry), with which we are advertising the art of puppet theatre.

There is no cooperation with the dfp in Bochum (led by Annette Dabs).

Further Information from Germany

Northeim in the „Theater der Nacht“ hosted the Baltic Sea Country Festival in June 2009 organized by Ruth and Heiko Brockhausen. 10 productions from 10 countries around the Baltic Sea and from Norway were invited.

The International Figurentheaterfestival in Erlangen/Nürnberg/Fürth was threatened by financial problems of the city, but international protest caused that Siemens will finance the festival in 2011. But the further future is unknown.

In Germany every federal state is solely responsible for arts and education, there is no central management.

The financial situation of every city or community immediately affects the cultural events and subsidies. The general cuts demanded by the state are severe and are passed on firstly to the cultural/arts sector.

The department for puppetry arts at the University for Music and Dramatic Arts in Stuttgart who was threatened to be folded, after a huge protest officially still exists, but due to restructuring there are no interviews and auditions for the coming academic year.

Br UNIMA Centre report for the Dordrecht Council Meeting June 2010

Since the Perth Congress in 2008 we have continued to be financially stable and have gradually increased our membership (mainly due to the efforts of our Treasurer and Membership Secretary, and the interest generated by the Puppet Notebook).
We have produced a new BrUNIMA card to encourage new members to join.
Our members are widely spread over the age groups and include many puppetry students. BrUNIMA is run by an excellent committee, which reflects the membership.
We communicate via email and attempt to hold virtual meetings on a regular basis.
We produce three Newsletters a year and three issues of the Puppet Notebook magazine, which is distributed free to members, and to subscribers in British academic institutions, and all over the world.

We hosted two public John Philips Memorial Lectures; the first in November 2007 - Lordly Shades - Cambodian Shadow Puppetry - given by Robert Fowler. It was held at the Horniman Museum in London, which has a fine collection of puppets.
The second lecture was given at the Little Angel in 2009 by Alain Lecucq on the subject of paper theatre. This event was truly in the spirit of UNIMA, with Alain giving the lecture in French about his passion for British paper theatre, translated into perfect English by his Iranian partner, Narguess Majd.
They also performed Romeo and Juliet by Edward Gordon Craig.
At the same event a new book, Theatre Materials, written by Eleanor Margolies and published by The Central School of Speech and Drama, was launched.
We were involved in setting up two public debates (also at the Little Angel): “What Does the Actor Puppeteer Do?”, in March 2008, and “Bunraku in Britain” in April 2009.

Caroline Astell Burt set up the BrUNIMA Puppetry in education and therapy study group in October 2008 and ran a seminar at the Rosemary Branch in London that included performances, talks and discussions. BrUNIMA remains actively involved in PuppeteersUK, a consortium of British national puppetry organisations which also includes the British Puppet and Model Theatre Guild, and the two Punch and Judy organisations.
The PuppeteersUK website is a much-visited resource, and the weekly electronic newsletter PuppeteersUK issues is a central mode for the dissemination of information, networking and collaboration.

Generally, U.K. puppetry continues to be in a strong position; an increasing number of art schools and university drama departments now offer puppetry modules; the annual International Student Puppet Festival, held in London at the Central School every spring, is now in its fourth year; puppets are appearing in many West End and provincial theatre productions, and at The National Theatre. The War Horse is still running to packed audiences.

The puppetry scene in Scotland is vibrant, with the Manipulate Festival for adults and Puppet Animation Festival. Festivals in Bath, Skipton and Buxton, and Dynamics Festival in Birmingham, to name but a few, have become annual events.

The Little Angel Theatre ran the Suspense Festival in autumn 2009, an important new festival for adult audiences. It has also hosted several events for BrUNIMA and their programme of shows, and masterclasses for adults is now well established, alongside the programme for children.

Norwich Puppet Theatre is still open, in spite of funding cuts. It has become a receiving venue while awaiting funding decisions from the Arts Council, but it has also held a series of masterclasses over the past year ,and there are exciting plans afoot for a programme of in-house productions in collaboration with UK touring companies.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NVP-UNIMA , 2006

At the present moment the year 2006 is still with us and that is the reason why this annual report is not only a reflection of what has been happening over the past year but is also an indication of what lies ahead of us in the future.

The NVP-UNIMA celebrated its’ 50th jubilee in 2005.

It gives us great pleasure to inform you that this festive year was a big success and had no financial consequences for the NVP-UNIM whatsoever.
Thanks to a grant from the Ministry of OCW, help and financial aid from the ‘Theater Instituut Nederland’ and a contribution from the VSB, we were able to cover all expenses with even a small amount left over.

1) Survey and policy 2007-2010
Part of the above mentioned amount went towards a survey in 2006 under the members of the NVP-UNIMA. Taking into account the new policy plan for 2007-2010, the Board thought it advisable to pay attention to the opinions and wishes of all NVP-UNIMA members. The survey was sent to all members in the latter part of 2005 and the response was overwhelming.
More than 40% of our members took part. Taking this into account, we can conclude that we have a representative picture of the wishes and future expectations of our members.
We received positive reactions with regard to the WP magazine, the financial contribution, contact between members and the Board and the way in which the Board itself performs its’ work.
It became clear from the survey that our website needs to be improved and that our members were ill-informed or knew little about our library/video’s.
It was also clear that most members are not well informed about the importance of the work done by the UNIMA in general and the UNIMA-counsellors in particular.
A Board meeting took place on May 21, 2006 to discuss the outcome of the survey. A few club members who are specifically interested in the subject were invited to be present on this occasion.
With the aid of a new method, first steps were taken with regard to the formation of a new policy plan for the NVP-UNIMA for 2006-2010.

The board discussed the first draft of this new policy with members at the autumn meeting in Schoorl.
It was deducted from the survey that our members were in need of more schooling/information and more festivals.
Taking into account these special wishes, the Board has taken immediate action, without awaiting the outcome of the new policy plan.

2) Courses:
The following courses took place and are still being held:
1 - Table dolls
2 - Script writing
3 - Working with felt
4 - A business course in co-operation with the `Economische Werkplaats’ at Amsterdam

3) Flemish organization ‘Open Doek’
We have been in contact with this Flemish amateur organization in connection with the possibility for our working together with regard to schooling in the future.
Our Flemish board member Jean-Marie Piron has formed a puppet workgroup which, together with ‘Open Doek’ will try to improve policy relating to the Puppet theatre in Flanders.

4) A concept ‘Basic puppet show schooling for amateurs and beginners’ is in the process of being written
‘De werkplaats De Proeve’’is the place in The Netherlands where professionals in the puppet show business can receive further training. Apart from the NVP-UNINA courses nothing of this sort exists for amateurs and beginners.
Where this is concerned, the Board also wants to improve matters and a concept basic training has been prepared by the NVP-UNIMA together with Werkplaats De Proeve and Theaterwerk.nl (the organization for amateur arts and crafts in The Netherlands).
A decision will be made about this concept on October 4 and will then be sent to the FAPK (Fund for Amateur and Stage Arts) together with an estimate for the costs involved.
The NVP-UNIMA hopes that a start can be made with this training in the autumn of 2007.

5) Autumn tour
Following the success of the Russian Puppet Theatre the year before, we organized a second tour from another country in 2006. This took place from the 15th to the 29th of October.
The ‘Seifenblasen-Figurentheater ’from Meerbush in Germany performed ‘The large, fat pancake’.
The performances took place at various puppet theatres in The Netherlands and one in Belgium.
There are three reasons for these tours and the first being that we can introduce the Dutch public to small puppet theatres from other countries and in a different language, secondly it gives the puppet theatre concerned the opportunity to vary its normal programme thus gaining extra publicity and the third reason being that the NVP/UNIMA can become more widely known to the general public.

6) A Festival - “Dutch Puppet Show Days” - was organized
A festival took place in Schoorl in November 2006. It was a small festival where members in particular were able to present themselves.
The junior schools in Schoorl were offered a course in puppet shows and they got the opportunity to perform at the Festival.
The Board met 4 times.
This may appear to be rather few, but due to e-mail it has become unnecessary for the Board to meet more frequently.
Two meetings were held in 2006 for the members.
At the meeting on March 12 formal leave was taken of Yvonne Bais and Albert Blom.
Caren Peeters was appointed Board Member and her main task will be the acquirement of subsidies etc.
The autumn meeting was held during the festival in Schoorl.
The WP magazine and the WP Newsletter appeared three times.
The Unima counsellors met one time in 2006.

Summarizing the above we can conclude that 2006 was an important year for:
1 - The survey and policy plan for 2007-2010.
2 - Courses and basic Puppet Show training.
3 - Contact with Flanders.
4 - The autumn tour of the `Seifenblasen-Figurentheater’.
5 - The Schoorl Festival held on November 3, 4 and 5, 2006.

De Nederlandse Vereniging voor het Poppenspel - NVP / UNIMA
(Die niederländische Vereinigung für das Puppenspiel)

Die Vereinigung NVP wurde 1955 gegründet und besteht also in diesem Jahr fünfzig Jahre.
In den achtziger Jahren wurde die NVP auch das Unima-Centrum für die Niederlande.
Die Vereinigung setzt sich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes für das Puppenspiel ein, vom traditionellen Puppentheater bis hin zu dem sehr experimentellen Objektentheater, für das Puppenspiel für die Jugend bis zum Puppenspiel für Erwachsene.
Die Mitglieder der Vereinigung sind Kenner (Interessenten), Amateur- und Berufsspieler. Zweimal im Jahr kommen die Mitglieder der Vereinigung zusammen. Man spricht dann über die Vereinsführung und man trifft sich. Ausserdem werden auf diesen Mitgliederversammlungen Lesungen und Vorstellungen gegeben.
Die Vereinigung organisiert Aktivitäten im ganzen Land, gibt eine Zeitschrift heraus, unterhält eine Website und eine umfangreiche Bibliothek und einmal in drei Jahren verleiht die Vereinigung den Wim Meilinkpreis.

Aktivitäten im Land
Weil der Verein in diesem Jahr fünfzig Jahre besteht, sind extra viele Aktivitäten geplant:
- Workshops
- Eine grosse Ausstellung im Theater Instituut Nederland (die Eröffnung war am 16. Juni)
- Eine Herbsttournee der russischen Gesellschaft `Haus der Puppen’ aus St. Petersburg entlang der kleinen (ständigen Puppen) Theater in den Niederlanden.

WP:
Die Zeitschrift `Welt des Puppenspiels’ erscheint achtmal im Jahr, viermal als Zeitschrift und viermal als Rundbrief. Mitglieder der NVP-Unioma empfangen die Zeitschrift kostenlos.

Website:
Die NVP-Unima hat eine eigene Website: http://www.poppenspelers.nl
Auf dieser Website finden Sie unter anderem den Terminkalender für das Festjahr 2005, Information über die NVP-Unima und einen Adressenbestand.

Die Bibliothek:
In Haarlem (Brouwersvaart 70) hat die NVP-Unima eine umfangreiche Bibliothek.
Diese Bibliothek hat mehr als 1200 Bände. Seit ein Paar Jahren wird auch an dem Aufbau einer Videothek gearbeitet. Die Bibliothek kann jeden Tag - vorausgesetzt vorab angemeldet - besucht werden.

Der Wim Melinkpreis:
Alle drei Jahre verleiht die NVP-Unima den Wim Melinkpreis an einen Puppenspieler (oder eine Puppenspielerin), der sich im Laufe der Jahre auf dem Puppenspielgebiet ausgezeichnet hat.

Dear UNIMA members around the world, happy "Worldwide Puppetry Day" !

We in UNIMA Iceland are so happy and bursting with pride of all the wonderful things that are going on these days in the world of puppetry in Iceland that we want to share it with all UNIMA members around the world.

Of course everybody is most welcome to come over and share the happiness with us.

Here is what's going on for the next couple of weeks:

B I P - Borgarnes International Puppet Festival
On March 31st - April 3rd 2011 the 1st ever international puppet festival will be held in Iceland, in a town called Borgarnes by the Center for Puppet arts (In Icelandic: Brúðuheimar). The aim of the Center is to keep this an yearly event from now on. We are very excited and happy to have so many talented puppeteers over for a visit. Please see the schedule for the festival on this website: http://www.bruduheimar.is/en/bip

Workshop with Nicolas Gousseff
Preceding the B I P festival, March 28th - March 30th, UNIMA Iceland and the Center for Puppet arts are co-organizing a workshop leaded by Nicolas Gousseff in Borgarnes. The workshop is called "Le Corps Castelet", introducing a technique Gousseff developed for puppeteers, based on his background in Aikido and Decroux mime.
Please contactsunna@bruduheimar.is for additional information.

Michael Meschke, Guest of honor at the first B I P Festival, 2011
To celebrate Meschke's 80th birthday and his visit to Iceland, B I P Festival will open a temporary exhibition in the MilkArtHouse (Borgarnes) with puppets and other pieces from Meschke's key performances, shedding a light on his long and fruitful career.
The exhibition will be open from April 1st until May 8th. Meschke generously contributed to the founding of UNIMA Iceland in 1976 and we in UNIMA Iceland are proud to be able to honor Meschke on this occasion.

More information on Meschke: http://www.bruduheimar.is/en/bip/MICHAEL_MESCHKE.
