We are glad to announce the participants of the “UNIMA: Youth In Progress” international residence!

The first UNIMA’s residence for young puppeteers is hosted by the International Puppet Festival “Ryazanskie Smotriny” in Ryazan, Russia, in September 6-19. This project is a result of collaboration between the Festival, UNIMA Youth Commission and UNIMA Russia.  

We received many interesting and extraordinary applications, that is why it was a hard task to choose only 9 participants:

• Asanda Rilityana, South Africa
• Claudia Gomes, Portugal
• Eden Harbud, UK
• Ekaterina Filippova, Russia
• Gustavo Campos Lages, Brasil
• Hojjat Zeinali, Iran
• Nozomi Nagai, Japan
• Peter Davidson, Australia
• Valerie Meiss, USA
