｜認識偶校 INTRODUCTION｜

 The International Academy of Puppet Arts is the only comprehensive professional training program for "contemporary puppet talents" in Taiwan. Founded in 2022 by Lìzé Puppet Art Colony, the International Academy of Puppet Arts invites Puppet & Its Double Theater Company, a leading force in contemporary puppetry, to use the puppetry training materials of its more than 20 years of experience as the basis, and calls upon the best and brightest contemporary puppetry professionals to jointly research and create professional training materials for the cultivation of puppet artists in Taiwan!

The Academy offers two main courses, "Puppet Manipulation Techniques" and "Puppet-making," supplemented by topics such as puppet art theory and aesthetics, applications and practices, and organizes internship programs and graduation performances during the two-year course to strengthen students' professional strengths both inside and outside the Academy. We hope that at a time when the global theater is facing a loss of talents, the program will bring professionals in creation, performance, puppet making, and theater crafts to the contemporary puppet arts, so that it can have a robust and prosperous development in Taiwan.
