PUPPETS AND THE VOICE

They whisper, shout, squeak, sing, gibber and swazzle!

[Table of Contents]



  Puppetry International Winter 2008 Call for Papers
Puppetry International seeks articles and interviews for the upcoming issue on the theme “Voice and the Puppet.”  We are looking for papers that address speech in the art of puppetry in live or mediated performance. Articles can address, but are not limited to, topics such as the comparative use of the human voice in various puppetry traditions, special training techniques or creative uses of the voice in puppetry, the application of song, masters of the puppet voice such as the tayu in Bunraku, and examinations of one or more specific artists/performances that have broken ground in this area through the use of technology or other innovative means. We also seek interviews with (or profiles of) contemporary artists outside the traditional scope of puppetry who are adding to the conversation about voice and object animation

Contributors will receive a copy of the magazine and retain copyright of their work.  Minor publication expenses can be covered as well. Use of images is encouraged. Submissions should be in MLA format, and no longer than 2,000 words. Submission deadline:  Janurary 4, 2008.

 Expanding Readership
fall/winter 2007 cover Puppetry artists need audiences, and they need educated and informed audiences. They also need directors and producers with an increased appreciation for the creative opportunities to mix puppets and people in theatre, film and video. PUPPETRY INTERNATIONAL Magazine was founded in 1994 and is designed to bridge the interests of puppetry professionals and their audiences. As the lines blur among actors' theatre, mime, dance, masks and puppetry, PUPPETRY INTERNATIONAL Magazine is of interest to a continually expanding readership.Published twice a year, PUPPETRY INTERNATIONAL Magazine is distributed to specialty newsstands nationally and is available at theatres, puppet centers and festivals.

The Editors and the Board would sincerely appreciate your assistance in securing or selling advertising. If you have ideas or know of potential vendors, please contact Reay Kaplan Schloss

 Hands Across the Sea

world mapRead the HANDS ACROSS THE SEA REPORT by KUANG-YU FONG
In 1994 UNIMA-USA began maintaining a list of members who make their names available to foreign puppeteers traveling through North America. This guide enables traveling puppeteers to contact members who can open their homes and develop friendships with artists from other countries. UNIMA-USA only compiles the information; the guide is made available to foreign puppeteers who may then make direct contact with members listed in the directory. If you would like to have the oppurtunity to be contacted by a travelling puppeteer, write to:
