Beverley Puppet Festival Saturday 27th - Monday 29th May 2006
In 2006 we organised the Beverley Puppet Festival that featured 11 companies, 17 shows and various street performances over 3 days in May. Educational residencies created a schools' showcase and procession. The highlight of the festival was Pak Asep Sunandar Sunarya and troupe, master puppeteer from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
The 2006 Beverley Puppet Festival was funded by Arts Council England and East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
Beverley Arts Trust planned, organised funding for, and ran the Beverley Puppet Festival 2006.
The pictures below show the wide range of puppetry that could be seen at the Beverley Puppet Festival, including spectacular puppetry and gamelan music from West Java and street performances including the very realistic mountain gorillas and 8 foot tall Egyptian goddess Isis.
