For over 30 years, the Washington, D.C. metro area has fostered a community of puppeteers and puppet builders that are steeped in the traditions of puppetry as well as creative innovation. With the exciting collaboration between Orion Weiss and the legendary Salzburg Marionettes in the Washington Performing Arts performance calendar, November provides the perfect time to showcase and explore the puppet scene of the Washington metro area. Washington Performing Arts’ Mars Urban Arts Initiative aims to highlight the legacy of puppetry in the region through a puppet slam of short performances. The slam will be curated by the Mars Urban Arts Initiative with coordination support provided by The Nice-ee Nice.
About the Mars Urban Arts Initiative
In May 2014, the Mars Urban Arts Initiative (MUAI) was created by Washington Performing Arts with the generous support of Jacqueline Badger Mars and Mars, Incorporated. The Mars Urban Arts Initiative currently works to fuel joint planning between Washington Performing Arts and grassroots neighborhood arts makers, local businesses, local arts institutions, and local residents. Washington Performing Arts utilizes its resources and connections with national and international artists to facilitate artist-to-artist dialogue, the sharing of artistic principles, and programs that amplify the voice and prominence of artists (performance/visual) living in the Washington, D.C. community.
