CURATOR’S MESSAGE
New this year is our move to Inglewood, the heart of where art lives. It’s fitting to celebrate hand-made self-taught art forms like mask and puppetry in Calgary’s original downtown district, home to the entrepreneurial and artistically-minded. Instigated by a new partnership with Casteliers puppet festival in Montreal we moved our dates to March to bring you amazing European work from Stuffed Puppet of Australia via the Netherlands, and Dockteaterverkstan of Sweden. Our mandate to present emerging and established artists gives you a chance to catch a premiere by Circo de Nada and WONDERHEADS, or be part of Ronnie Burkett’s writing process.

To our festival community, the artists, sponsors, volunteers and audience, thank you for the role you play in bringing this special art form to life.

- Xstine Cook
