About the Hive
The Puppetry Hive is a by-invitation artistic collective of professional puppeteers, emerging puppeteers and other arts professionals who incorporate puppetry into their work. The Hive‘s aim is to foster the ongoing development of the art form through the pooling of resources and knowledge, to nurture collaboration between artists of different practices: all to encourage greater creativity and new economic partnerships, for the benefit of puppetry in Canada and the world.
We hold in-person and online gatherings, share an email newslist and collaborate.
