The workshop ended very well and some of the members already include this experience into their works. We are very happy and thankful to all and grateful for their good spirit and team work. Great experience, lots to learn, lots to look forward to. The Burmese puppeteers arrived Dec 25 together with Amy Trompetter and Erik Fink in Bangkok and drove by van to Chiangmai. Anna arrived and joined together with Thai participants a day later. Dec 26th we opened the workshop for our village and friends from Chiangmai. Mr. Htwe’s puppeteers showed his performance he presents in hotels and for travelers visiting Yangon or when he goes abroad. Amy prepared a short piece of her own in collaboration with our participants. See details in PDF.
