❤ What a wonderful discussion about Puppets and Memory with our dear friend DORA BOUZKOVA

👍She presented her inspiring work to a live audience in our workshop - our wonderful Circus Marionette students - plus an online audience of puppeteers from around the world.

🌳She spoke about her latest project exploring a "disappeared village" on the German -Czech border where a large German ethnic minority lived until the end of WWII, as well as her other projects that explore stories that reflect history and bring together communities.

👀And as we were preparing for the talk, we found these photos from when Dora did the Puppets in Prague workshop in 2002, when she was a student at DAMU! What great puppet memories!

🍳Every month we have a talk or workshop on a different topic, called Puppet Recipes.
