Training
The internships offered by the Pôle International de la Marionnette – Jacques Félix are high-level professional training opportunities. Recruitment is often international, and the choice of training supervisors and participants crosses artistic disciplines, bringing puppetry into contact with other arts.
These courses are intended for professionals in the performing arts, selected on the basis of a portfolio.
