IPMAU is a pilot project for an innovative, modular, transdisciplinary and contemporary puppet theater training for art students.
The aim of the project is to open art universities to the art form and the art form to transnational impulses at the intersection of performing and visual arts. Through mutual learning experiences between students, teachers and artists, university and artistic exchange is intensified and a dense network is built, which serves as a basis for the further development of the model.
The central element is the development and testing of one basic and two focus-modules that can be integrated into the existing curricula of various fine art universities. As a first step, a list of thematic focuses is drawn up, on the basis of which the modules are developed. The students' results and works are presented in public events. The contents and results of the project will receive public attention through a video campaign and a concluding “mini-congress”.
The evaluated and revised module curricula will be published and actively disseminated for free use by European art universities. The collection of focal points serves as the basis for an expanded follow-up project. The universities, the students, the participating theatres and their audiences, as well as the art form of puppet theatre in general, benefit from the networking, the artistic exchange, the campaign accompanying the project and the discussion of European topics.
