Puppet Centre Trust

The PCT was founded in 1974 to support and advocate the art form of puppetry and the needs of British puppeteers.

In 2004 the Puppet Centre Trust is a development agency for the art form of puppetry with an overall mission to: - Support New Work that includes puppet and object animation - Encourage the use of puppetry within a variety of other performance disciplines and contexts - Advocate the art form.

The Centre exists as a practical resource and agency for all forms of puppetry.

Activities include: organising training opportunities for British practitioners alongside national and international artists of excellence; commissioning art form development and research projects; running the web magazine Animations Online and a range of other activities working to increase the accessibility, awareness and practice of puppetry in collaboration with other relevant organisations. PCT also works with local schools and local groups to give the community opportunity to participate in the art form.

PCT will be planning a range of training and art form development activities throughout 2005. Tel/Fax: (020) 7228 5335
