Manipulate Visual Theatre Festival 2012

The Festival is produced by Puppet Animation Scotland, an organisation dedicated to the advocacy for, and celebration and development of puppetry and animation.

manipulate provides an arena for us to create opportunities for Scottish practitioners to develop their artistic and technical working practices while providing audiences with access to stunning visual theatre that would rarely be seen in the UK in any other context. Read more …

The Festival is produced in association with two venues: The Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh and Norwich Puppet Theatre. These venues are natural homes for manipulate as they embrace pioneering work and ardently support puppetry and its related art forms.

More information on this production is available at www.manipulatefestival.org.
