Puppet Manualfesto celebrates short-form puppetry, community and food,
embracing a multitude of performance aesthetics. If it involves
puppetry, mask work or object theatre we want to see and share it with
everyone else. Pay-what-you-can for dinner, stay for the show. A night
filled with 2 to 10 minute gems of live puppetry, short film screenings
between set-ups and dinner beforehand.

STATUS: Active, 2-4 Slams Per Year, Since 2008
CURATOR: Martina Plag
PERFORMERS: Unknown
DETAILS: The
Philadelphia Puppet Manualfesto will be working in conjunction with
Puppet Uprising (PU). PU is currently restructuring internally and will
not be focusing on its puppet cabaret for the coming year. PU is
committed to its December 2011 cabaret. And we at Puppet Maunalfesto
will pick-up on their rich puppet cabaret tradition, offering
Philadelphia audiences a continued short puppet form experience with our
own Fishtown spin at B.Someday Productions’ Walking Fish Theatre of
Philadelphia. As in our past (self-produced through studium-praxis)
events, we will continue to invite audiences and performers alike to a
soup & salad or spaghetti dinner before the performances as a way to
commune. We will not be in competition with Puppet Uprising and will
exist as an East/West compliment to each other’s separate efforts,
sharing our resources to help facilitate short form puppetry in and
around Philadelphia.
