RESIDENCY FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN PUPPETRY IN NORWAY
In order to foster lasting ties between artists and writers from Quebec and Norway, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec has entered into a collaboration agreement with Fossekleiva kultursenter (Norway) to establish a specialized residency program in puppetry arts.
As part of this agreement, one or two artists from Norway will stay in Quebec at the Fabrique de théâtre insolite. This cross-residency agreement has been concluded for an initial three-year cycle.
The goal of this residency is to enable a puppeteer to spend two months in Norway with an artistic partner of their choice. Quebec puppeteers who wish to participate in this residency have until March 20, 2025, to submit their application for a stay in the fall of 2025.

RESIDENCY PROGRAM FOR UP-AND-COMING PUPPETRY ARTISTS
With the aim of supporting the professionalization of emerging artists and companies, developing a network of puppet-friendly venues, and promoting the art of puppetry to multidisciplinary presenters, the Quebec Puppeteers Association (AQM) is launching a brand-new residency program dedicated to emerging artists and companies, in partnership with Casteliers, L’Illusion, Les Sages Fous, and La Rubrique. This unique initiative is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Quebec Arts and Letters Council.
This program is open to all emerging artists and companies who are members of the AQM and who are proposing a performance project at an intermediate or advanced stage of the creative process.
