Here are some happy snaps from tonight's Spooky Social (on our socials😄) It was a small gathering but it gave us all a chance to catch up and see what we've all been up to. Lara @sneakiestdeak showed us the puppets she made for the @annerleyjunctionfest Katherine @misskhannaford showed us her amazing Terminator costume and latest puppet of a skeleton called 'Dun-Dun' (skeleton mech design by @liveactionpuppets). CK shared their incredible SACE art folio with us including their pride and joy - a zombie doll called Neil! Our president, Philip Millar @puppetryschool talked about the huge puppet exhibition he co-curated with A Blanck Canvas @ablanckcanvas at Puppet Mayhem 2, and the joys and challenges of putting on such a large-scale temporary exhibition.Nadira Sanif @hessian_hare did some spooky sketching and showed us how she used the free Krita program to whip up a haunting and very striking digital drawing. And in the midst of all the chatter and halloween tunes, Kay Yasugi @kay_yasugi quietly carved a tiny pumpkin with the face of the UNIMA Oz Koala :DThis truly was a demonstration of UNIMA Australia’s manifesto - Friendship Through Puppetry. Happy Halloween! 🎃 ... See MoreSee Less

We’re still talking about how wonderful last week’s panel discussion on Puppetry Training was with committee member Larissa Deak @sneakiestdeak and Sarah Krieglar & Jacob Williams @lemonyspuppettheatre Michael Barlow @sparepartspuppets and Susie Boeselt @ominous_pigeon We gained some insights into the ways in which Australian puppeteers and puppet makers are accessing local and international training and opening a conversation up about the yearning for more tertiary avenues for Australians on home soil. A fantastic testament to the out of the box thinking and the lengths our membership will go to keep building on their skills. We have such wonderful examples of the benefits of lifelong learning in our membership. Keep up to date with our upcoming Silver Linings Film Festival and our Halloween Spooky Social via the link in Bio and give us a follow!
