olga leta so lutkarji na Hrvaškem hrepeneli po šoli za lutkarstvo. Kolikokrat smo lahko slišali in brali: »Oh, ko bi vsaj imeli šolo lutkarstva!« ali pa »Skrajni čas je, da ustanovimo šolo za lutkarstvo!« ali »PIF je za nas, lutkarje, prava šola, saj lutkarstva nikjer ne moremo študirati!« Občasno so bile organizirane različne lutkarske delavnice, šole pa ni bilo. Tudi festival PIF (mednarnodni lutkovni festival, ki v Zagrebu poteka vse od leta 1968) se je močno trudil: z razstavami, okroglimi mizami, s seminarji, z delavnicami, s publikacijami in z vsemi velikimi uprizoritvami, ki so predstavile skoraj vse najpomembnejše figure evropskega lutkarstva druge polovice 20. stoletja in začetka 21. stoletja. Pa vendar. Še vedno nismo imeli šole. In končno: od študijskega leta 2004/05 imamo na Hrvaškem šolo za lutkarstvo! Oddelek je bil ustanovljen 18. oktobra 2004 na Univerzi Josipa Juraja Strossmayerja v Osijeku, na Umetniški akademiji. Štirje oddelki akademije – za glasbo, likovni umetnost, gledališče in uporabno umetnost – omogočajo pridobitev akademskega naziva za glasbo, likovno umetnost, dramsko igro, lutkarstvo in gledališko oblikovanje. Po končanem študiju gledališkega oblikovanja se študenti usmerijo

or many years, puppeteers in Croatia had been very keen on having a puppetry school. Sentences like “Oh, if only there was a puppetry school!” or “It is high time we founded a puppetry school” or “PIF is a school for us puppeteers, as we do not have a real puppetry school” had often been the subject of conversation or articles. There used to be some puppetry workshops, but not a school. It is also true that the PIF festival (the international puppet theatre festival that had been held in Zagreb ever since 1968) did make a lot of difference – with all the exhibitions, round-tables, seminars, workshops, publications and all the great shows that reflected almost all the essential features of the European puppetry of the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. Still, it wasn’t a school. However in the academic year of 2004/2005, a puppetry school was founded in Croatia! An Academy of Arts was founded on October 18th 2004 at the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek.The four departments – of Music, Fine Arts, Theatre and Applied Arts – offer students the opportunity of pursuing a degree in music, fine arts, drama and puppetry, and theatre design. After they finish studying theatre design,
