Subject: [Puptcrit] research on "museum puppetry"

Dear Puptcritters,

I am a first year postgraduate student in Royal Holloway University of
London (Drama and Theatre Department) and have been a lurker on the list for
the last months. Before coming to London, I worked at the Athens University
Museum's education and activities department, and have also worked in Greece
as a puppet director and performer for the last few years.

My present PhD research is about the use of puppetry in museum education. I
have just begun the explorations of this field, and have been in
correspondence over the last months with Patricia O'Donovan (who is head of
UNIMA Israel and worked in many Israeli museums and has a PhD in zoology),
Robert Poulter in England (who creates toy theatre shows related to science
and art exhibitions) and others. I have also ordered a copy of the video of
Lewis Latimer: Renaissance Man, African American Inventor, a puppet play by
The Brewery Troupe and the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center 'that tells the
story of African American inventor Lewis Latimer' (

<http://www.iteaconnect.org/Publications/LemelsonProducts.pdf> ). I have
also investigated the very limited literature in this field.  I am planning
to set up a webpage (possibly on MySpace or a Blog) dealing with my
research.

I was wondering if there is any way of learning more about the personal
experience in this field of members of this about creating shows to be
performed in museums that relate directly to museum collections or
exhibitions. I would be happy to be contacted directly or through the list!

Sincerely Yours,
