Free Play
The Puppet Convergence is where imagination gathers, stories breathe, and communities connect through the timeless art of puppetry. Part festival, part creative laboratory, and part cultural celebration, we bring artists, educators, and audiences together to explore the power of movement, voice, and craft.
Imagination
Imagination is the compass that points us toward uncharted worlds. It’s the daring spark that turns scraps of fabric into heroes, blocks of wood into beasts, and empty stages into entire universes waiting to be explored. When imagination leads the way, puppeteers, builders, musicians, and storytellers become adventurers—charting new realms where anything can take shape and every idea has the power to come alive.
Community
Community is the campfire at the center of the journey—the place where creators gather, share tools, swap stories, and lend their strengths to one another. It’s the fellowship that forms when carpenters, filmmakers, performers, and dreamers travel the same path, each bringing a skill that helps the whole expedition move forward. In community, no one treks alone; every craft, every voice, and every pair of hands helps build the world we’re all stepping into.
Creativity
Creativity is the trailblazer’s toolkit—the fearless mix of curiosity, craft, and problem‑solving that transforms wild ideas into something real. It’s the thrill of experimenting with new materials, inventing new mechanisms, composing new sounds, and shaping characters that have never existed before. Creativity pushes us to climb higher, dig deeper, and build boldly, turning collaborative storytelling into a full‑scale adventure.
Our Mission
The Puppet Convergence is where imagination gathers, stories breathe, and communities connect through the timeless art of puppetry. Part festival, part creative laboratory, and part cultural celebration, we bring artists, educators, and audiences together to explore the power of movement, voice, and craft.
Learn
Learning is the thrill of uncovering something hidden just beneath the surface — a technique you never knew existed, a tool that suddenly makes everything click, a tradition waiting to be rediscovered. At the festival, learning feels like brushing dust off an ancient map and realizing it leads somewhere extraordinary. Every lesson is a new landmark on your creative expedition.
Engage
Engage is the moment you step out of the observer’s shadow and into the bright unknown. It’s where you discover how materials behave in your hands, how mechanisms respond to your touch, and how ideas shift when shared aloud. This is active exploration — the kind where you lean in, poke around, and uncover the magic that only appears when you’re fully involved.
Share
Sharing is discovery in reverse — instead of finding something new, you become the discovery. Your work, your voice, your experiments become treasures others stumble upon. When you share, you reveal hidden corners of your craft, and in doing so, you spark new paths for everyone around you. Every offering becomes a clue that leads someone else deeper into the adventure.
Collaborate
Collaboration is the great crossroads of imagination, community and creativity. It’s where your path intersects with someone else’s, and suddenly the terrain changes. You uncover strengths you didn’t know you had, witness ideas you never would’ve imagined, and build things that surprise all the people making them. Together, you chart new territory — the kind no one could reach alone.
New Paths
New Paths is the wild frontier — the unmarked trail where discovery is guaranteed. This is where you test the strange, the bold, the “what if we tried this” ideas. It’s the place where you follow curiosity into uncharted territory and return with something no one has ever seen before. Every experiment becomes a compass pointing toward the future of puppetry.
Build
Build is the excavation site of imagination. Here, you dig into raw materials and uncover the shapes, characters, and structures hidden inside them. As you carve, stitch, sand, and assemble, discoveries emerge — a joint that moves better than expected, a texture that changes the whole design, a puppet that suddenly feels alive. Creation becomes a journey of constant revelation.
Play
Play is where discoveries leap out from behind every corner. A character finds its voice, a movement sparks a laugh, a scene unfolds in a way no one predicted. In play, you stumble upon joy, chaos, rhythm, and story — often all at once. It’s the part of the adventure where you let go, explore freely, and uncover the unexpected delights of performance.
Film
Film is the art of discovering how puppetry transforms through the lens. Lights reveal textures you didn’t notice before. Angles uncover emotions hidden in the puppet’s face. Movement takes on new meaning when framed by the camera. In this realm, every shot is a small expedition — a search for the moment where craft and cinema collide to create something unforgettable.
Bring It All Together!
This is the grand achievement — the moment when every trail, experiment, and collaboration converges. Ideas that began as scattered sparks suddenly reveal themselves as pieces of a larger world. When everything comes together, you see the full landscape of what you’ve created: a living, breathing tapestry woven from curiosity, craft, and collective adventure. It’s the final revelation of the journey — and the beginning of the next one.
