Transitions and Traditions: BrUNIMA Bulletin Archive, 2000
Issues 103–104 | 2000 Editions | Edited by Robert Fowler (final issue)
As the 20th century gave way to the 21st, the BrUNIMA Bulletin continued its global survey of puppetry with insight, curiosity, and dedication. Issues 103 and 104—Robert Fowler’s final as editor—offer a vibrant farewell to his tenure, with dispatches from Bali, Berlin, Mumbai, and beyond. These editions highlight puppet festivals in Slovakia and Poland, debates on terminology (puppentheater vs. figurentheater), carving techniques in Bruges, and Punch’s curious acoustics. Contributions range from Greek shadow theatre and Indian dance-drama traditions to experimental works like The Chimp Project by Handspring Puppet Company. A rich blend of commentary, historical enquiry, and live performance reviews rounds out this final leg of a remarkable editorial journey.
