The different steps in the design of the poster.
An international jury (Eva Cabral, Béa Migom, Hilde Heijnen, Alain Verhelst, Guido Desimpelaere, Donald Hendrickx and Bart Beys) attributes during the International Puppetbuskersfestival (IPBF) each year the Luk Vincent Award and the Award Young Talent.
The "Award Luc Vincent" and the "Award Young Talent" puppets made by Drolatic Industry. Both awards are donated
by the Van Praet family.
AWARD YOUNG TALENT
First of all the jury wants to mention that they regret that two young groups didn't show up at the festival.
After a long discussion, the jury decided that this year the "Award Young Talent" will not be awarded.
The jury had the opportunity to see three young companies. One of them was excelling in his very fine manipulation and the professional way of making their marionnets. An other group was noticed for the originality of the script and finally the third group brougt a marvellous soundtrack.
But unfortunatly the jury has to find all these criteria in one and the same performance. It's a pity that they have not seen such a show. This is the reason for their decision.
LUC VINCENT AWARD
The jury witnessed very hig quality performances and a lot of creativity.
Because of that the jury decided tot nominate 3 shows:
1. Alex Barty: "The Barty Show"
Outstanding performance! The splendid interaction with the audience - in particular with very young children - but most of all between the puppet and the puppeteer was overwhelming. The perfect timing and manipulation made the performance as a whole perfect in
the smallest details.
2. Cie Pepele: "Tauromaquia"
The jury saw an outstanding, original and refreshing puppetshow within a traditional set-up. The performance was full of action with an absurd kind of humor. They heard a splendid use of the swazzle by a talented puppeteer. The jury also enjoyed the clever script.
3. L’ Alinéa: "Petites histoires sans paroles"
In "Petites histoires sans paroles" the jury saw an outstanding glovepuppet player, full of creativity and good scripts. They saw an excellent musician as well, with genious music- and soundeffects. The interaction between the musician and the puppetplayer was amazing. The two artists respect each other with a great feeling for teamwork.
The Luc Vincent Award 2011 goes to the French company L' Alinéa with
