A Brief History

The International Puppet Slam is the result of a yearslong partnership between the Puppet Slam Network, Shimokitazawa International Puppet Festival Festival in Tokyo, Japan, and the Skupova Plzeň Festival in Plzen, Czech Republic to present some of the first International Puppet Slams and now we’ve come home to New York City!

 

The way the partnership worked was that each partner sent one performer and one producer to the puppet slam in each city. In Tokyo, Deborah Hunt and Christine Papalexis represented Puppet Slam Network USA. In Plzen, Vanessa Valliere and Brenna Ross represented PSN-USA. 

Both Masashi Kadoya & Yoko Yamaguchi and Jakub Jelinék & Jakub Hora represented Tokyo and Plzen respectively at all 3 slams!
