What are the perspectives for establishing a recognised professional training in puppet and animation theatre in Denmark? Presentations from three internationally renowned schools will focus on amongst other things roots, traditions and innovation. From this we will look at the possibilities of establishing a theatre education in puppetry in Denmark and what significance this would have for Danish stage arts in general. There will be demonstrations along the way followed by a debate.
The Seminar is rounded off with the performance Rasant created as a second year assignment by two German students of puppetry. Rasant is an up-tempo spoof on the Nineties film Speed.
