I do think more could be done to
make the Festivals cater to a more professional
audience. Certainly here in California, we have a lot
of puppeteers who work mostly on film and television
and in special effects that have never been to a
festival, partly because they don't see it as being
for them.



Hi, All:

A lot of good points have been made in this discussion.  Let me just add a little something.  I'm not sure how festival workshops are chosen exactly, but if you know, or know someone who knows, a professional puppeteer who's doing something new, different or otherwise intriguing, why not personally ask him or her to present a workshop?  Encourage him to spread the word to colleagues.  Similar to having a themed festival, this may be a way to involve people who think there's nothing for them at festival.
