There are a lot of things going on, so for those interested, check out www.savevca.org for info. The only other place that has a puppetry component in Australia is also in Melbourne: Swinburne University. This however, is not a solely puppetry-based course. There is plenty going on in Australia - if anyone needs any help locating some info, please let me know. I am the new webmaster for UNIMA Australia's site, and also run a very popular site (link below) which focuses on puppetry in Australia. ------- Naomi Guss www.puppetsinmelbourne.com.au Puppets in Melbourne -----Original Message----- From: Steve Abrams [mailto:sapuppets-AT-gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 5 October 2009 6:31 AM To: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Brain Trust Question Hi All If you are traveling and looking for puppetry, check and see if the country has a chapter of UNIMA, and try to contact them on line UNIMA Australia is http://unimaaustralia.typepad.com/unima_australia/ You are in luck. Many consider Melbourne to be a major center of the arts in Australia, and many puppeteers live in the Melbourne area. The University of Melbourne has a puppetry program chaired by the very gifted and very will informed puppeteer, Peter Wilson Polyglot Puppet Theatre in Melbourne was founded in 1978 (Spare Parts is in Perth. They do amazing work, but Perth is all the way on the other side of Australia from Melbourne) Ronnie Burkett finishes his run at the Sydney Opera House on Oct 17 Steve On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 10:19 AM, Kathleen David <kathodavid-AT-mac.com> wrote: > I find myself, all of the sudden, traveling to Australia and New > Zealand next month.
