THEMAA
Association Nationale des Théâtres de Marionnettes et Arts Associés
THEMAA is the French national association for the puppetry arts, with over 400 professional and amateur members. Its role is to represent the profession, promote the puppetry arts and encourage inter-professional dialogue. It coordinates projects, events and communication tools such as the MANIP magazine. THEMAA is the French centre of UNIMA. The association is also a member of the UFISC to include the sector's issues in the national field of live performance. In 2020, it launched Les Rendez-vous du Commun, a space for shared reflection. As an active observatory, THEMAA positions itself as a catalyst for the common concerns of the puppetry profession.
I have been an elected international advisor for THEMAA since 2015. I currently participate as a representative of the four international advisors on the Board of Directors, which has entrusted me with the task of Secretary of the association.
