At the same time, the course is supported by the Chinese Puppet and Shadow Play Association and International Puppet Association China Centre.
The object puppet creation course has been established by the Hungarian University of Theatre and Film in Budapest. The delivery of this course at STA began in 2000, with Prof Edina Ellinger of the Hungarian University of Theatre and Film as the teacher. The course is designed to develop the students’ acting abilities in theatre, puppet, music and body movement and also provide the students with the theoretical knowledge and cultivate their creative thinking and hands-on abilities.
