Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia launched the Institute of puppetry Arts in 1998 with the aim of promoting and enhancing the art of puppetry in Canada. Based in Windsor, NS, the Institute’s classes, workshops, lectures and demonstrations, both in-house and through outreach sessions, are tailored to the specific needs of educators, recreation leaders, theatre schools and industry. The Institute’s school touring program provides unique apprenticeship opportunities for young professionals, and intensive sessions offer specialized training not otherwise available in Canada. Institute staff members are available for longer-term residencies and performance projects both at home and around the world.

Artistic Director: Jim Morrow
The Institute’s faculty members include professional associates who are recognized experts in the fields of theatre, music, dance, design, and construction.
