Praha, Vysehrad - Old Burgrave´s Residence
www.praha-vysehrad.cz kontact: sugrue@praha-vysehrad.cz
To find what is meaningful for our life and our work
To find the substance of the things
We invite people first to watch, imagine (dream), hear (sounds, pulse, rhythm, melody) and then to create thus SEEING and contriving NEW IDEAS.
The idea of the symposium is to make the participants cooperate in a process of teamwork by creating a puppet performance. People will work on a Bad Script and What to Do about It, inspired by Genius Loci of Vysehrad – oldest part of Prague. The process of making art is an instruction for problem solving, a source of knowledge and – a source rich in experiences!
Target groups:
Teachers and educators ● Puppeteers and artists ● Teenagers and adults ● Workers from non-governmental organizations, small teams

Main Tutors
Mgr. Michaela Bartoňová,
Artist, designer, director of the Tineola Theatre, presidentess of Tineola civic society, puppet-actress and daydreamer.
She is also teaching puppet design, aiming to elevate the position of the puppet to that of an artwork in its own right. She runs courses on „Communication Through the Puppets“ and „Puppets and Imagination“. For that reason she co-operates with various specialists in the field of education, communication and therapy, who have now lectures on the subject, e.g. Under the wings. She also holds lectures about Czech traditional puppets. Michaela initiates and develops stories for puppet theatres, she writes and draws scripts and occasionally she directs the performance.
