A great time had by all at our Crafty Social on Sunday where members got together to prepare a puppet for the @unima_internationale video project for #worldpuppetryday2022 focussing on Aquatic Life and Marine Worlds. We also released our suite of events for 2022. It’s going to be an exciting year! Members have until February 15 to send a landscape video of 15-30 seconds into UNIMA international to be featured in their video on March 21. If you’re having trouble, do reach out to your committee for help! We’re here for you. Our next event will be our artist talk with Dr. Emma Fisher-Owen and Ivan Fisher-Owen on February 6. Check them out here Beyond the Bark puppet and installation theatreMake sure you get yourself a UNIMA Oz membership or renew so that you can reap the full benefits of all our free events and cheaper registration on paid events this year.www.unima.org.au/membership #puppeteer #puppeteers #puppets #puppet #puppetry #puppetbuilder #puppetmaker #unima #unimaoz #unimainternationale #unimainternational #puppet #puppetpower ...

CZECH US OUTThank you Puppets In Prague (@puppetsinprague )for running our recent Automata Design Artist Talk. It was fantastic to learn from Master Carver and Toy/Puppet Designer Mirek Trejtnar, who showed us various tools, mechanisms and demos for designing our own wooden automata. This 2 hour zoom session was part of the Puppets in Prague online Weekend Workshop Series, and we were very grateful to have it at an Aussie friendly time. We hope to organise another one in the near future! #puppeteer #puppeteers #puppets #puppetry #puppetbuilder #muppets #unima #unimaoz #unimainternationale #unimainternational #puppet #puppetpower #automata ...

More fun from World Puppetry Day. Our ‘Puppetry Nailed It’ Zoom event this time around consisted of 2 challenges. The first, ‘Magazine Mash Up Puppets’, where members scrambled to scrap together puppets from cut outs in 20 minutes. Our second challenge was “Your favourite puppeteer or puppet character”, where members really showed off their talents! We had a Stinky The Stink Weed remake from @sesamestreet , a remake of @ronnieburkett ‘s ‘I love Puppets Fan’ and a FANTASTIC cranky of Richard Bradshaw in action behind his puppet theatre. Congratulations to our winners Pete Davidson (@oneorangesockproductions) and Jill WebsterThanks to our participants, Kay Yasugi @kay_yasugi Philip Millar @flipmil2 Katherine Hannaford @misskhannaford Larissa Deak @sneakiestdeak and Kristen Clerke @tinyuniversedesigns #puppeteer #puppetry #puppetbuilder #muppetry #creativity #unima #scultping #artist #performer #actorlife #artistlife #unima #unimaoz #unimainternationale #unimainternational #puppet #puppeteers #puppetpower #nailedit #worldpuppetryday2021 ...
