PUPPET THEATRE IN NAIROBI, KENYA SEEKS COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS

We are in the process of developing a professional puppet Theatre in Kenya. The first step into professional puppetry/ object/ figure theatre is to share experiences, learn from the existing professional companies and having joint projects with other professional companies. As a result of this I was invited as an intern by the IN THE HEART OF THE BEAST PUPPET AND MASK THEATRE (HOBT) in Minneapolis to participate in some of their major activities in March to May 2005.
