The puppet slam is a new movement which has been spreading across the country in night clubs, cafes, and fringe festivals. In recent years, puppet slams have been included as late night offerings in Puppeteers of America Festivals. Slams are an opportunity to feature short experimental pieces and to encourage artists not generally involved with puppetry to explore this exciting medium.
You will see raw, bawdy, and experimental works as well as innocent and elegant performances. Check out this puppetslam page to view some past performances like the ones below.
