The Atlantic Canada Puppetry Association / Association des marionnettistes du Canada atlantique (ACPA/AMCA) will be formally affiliated with UNIMA-Canada and UNIMA-International, sister organizations whose mandate is to link puppeteers nationally and internationally; to support professional programs; to stimulate the general public’s interest in the art of puppetry; and to promote the visibility of Canada’s puppeteers all over the world. The ACPA was created to provide a platform for the region’s puppet theatre artists by forming an alliance among worldwide practitioners of the age-old art. With headquarters at Mermaid Theatre in Windsor, NS, the ACPA/AMCA is registered under the Nova Scotia Societies Act and governed by a founding board of directors drawn from the four Atlantic Provinces. We are currently looking for and accepting new members throughout the Atlantic Canada region. The annual membership fee is $20 (includes affiliation with UNIMA CANADA and UNIMA International. Please note that the ACPA/AMCA is a Nova Scotia Registered Society but not a charitable organization – accordingly no tax receipt will be issued.) Email address: [email protected]

ANIMOTION

Multi-week Training Intensive May 13-24 2024.

The ANIMOTION Intensive was created to provide a platform where professional and pre-professional performers, and others, would explore the art of puppetry and related object movement techniques in a nurturing and challenging environment. Because there are few opportunities like ANIMOTION, response to our initiative has been tremendous with interest coming from all over North America. We are very proud to be able to provide this service to the theatre community from our headquarters in Windsor. During the two-week intensive training, participants will be offered the opportunity to glean as much knowledge and technical skills as possible though a series of carefully designed exercises, independent and collaborative scene work, and the development of finished pieces using puppets designed and built by the participants themselves.
