PUPPET POWER 2025: Puppets, People & Possibility
October 18–19, 2025 | Hybrid Event
INSPIRE. INFORM. GALVANIZE.

Join us for the 13th edition of WP Puppet Theatre’s renowned Puppet Power Conference! This year, we shine a light on immigration—exploring personal stories, global systems, and community action through the powerful and creative lens of puppetry.

This two-day hybrid event features:

• Five watch parties (livestreamed) + hands-on puppet-making activities

• Master workshops in puppet creation (in-person)

• Saturday night community celebration with dinner and professional performances

• Puppet-infused Rapid Ideation session for Calgary-based immigrant-serving organizations

• Lunches and Dinner (Saturday lunch & dinner, Sunday lunch included)

• Access to post-conference recordings and resources

Puppet Power 2025 offers a dynamic space for professionals and changemakers—educators, students, artists, social workers, and anyone interested in applied puppetry. Expect honest conversations, creative exploration, and meaningful connections.

Together, we will:

• Raise awareness of the complex forces shaping immigration today

• Provide a platform for newcomer voices and lived experiences

• Share practical, puppetry-based methodologies for healing, inclusion, and impact

Whether you join online or in person at Calgary’s Centre for Newcomers, you’ll be part of a global gathering committed to creative resilience and social change.

Let puppetry spark possibility. Be part of the movement.
