M2 Puppetry arts
The master brings together Arts² Mons, the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Tournai and the Puppetry Centre of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
The specific aim of the Master in puppetry arts is to train professional puppeteers who master the techniques of their practice and can design and carry out their own creative projects.
The skills to be acquired cover both the design and the technical making of manipulable objects, real or virtual, the management of a creative team and the art of puppet performance.
Puppetry artists are often called upon to work with different audiences, young audiences in particular. The programme prepares them to take this aspect of their future profession into account.
This programme meets a growing demand linked to the significant development of puppetry practices, which existing institutions in Europe cannot fully meet.
Puppet performance is a natural extension of an actor’s work. Designing manipulable objects is a specific development of a visual artist’s work.
The programme is therefore aimed primarily at bachelor graduates in Theatre and Performing Arts and in Visual and Spatial Arts.
