The chapters are: Approach, Related Arts (ventriloquism, mask, automata), Techniques, In Performance, Dramaturgy, Aesthetics and History, with an extensive Bibliography and Index. It can be obtained from Amazon; or from the publishers: http://www.palgrave.com who will give a discount if you order it with the promo code: WPUPPETRY11a

Recall for Unima Travel Fund A Travel Fund has been established for elected councillors who do not have the financial means to attend the official meetings (Congress, Council and Executive Committee meeting).
A first call was done in May 2011 and we would like to thank those few people and National Centres that donated money, yet.
But, this still is not sufficient. If we want to assure that the people attending the Congress, the Council or the Executive Committee meeting will well represent the diversity of our organisation and its ideal of democracy, we need to make a bigger effort. Each donation (small or large) will be welcome.
Applicants asking for a grant should fill in the form and send it to the General Secretary, not later than 6 months before the meeting. (For the Congress in Chengdu this means November 2011!).
