UNIMA SA - The South African Association of Puppetry and Visual Performance is an Arts based NPO working to develop and promote the use of puppetry and visual performance in theatre, education, film, television and at public events. One of our primary purposes is to encourage the use of puppetry for cultural and artistic exchange and as a tool for transformation. We work with creative expression and leadership programs with learners and youth at risk to develop self esteem and skills transfer. High quality artistic productions are a priority and we look to develop South African standards through exchange programs and providing professional training as well as creating platforms for exposure.
