This case study originates from the research conducted by Dr Matt Smith, Reader in Applied Theatre and Puppetry at the University of Portsmouth, as part of the UK-Ukraine R&I twinning grants scheme. It highlights the way that culture like puppet theatre can survive conflict and be part of social reconstruction. In this project, Dr Smith worked with a team of scholars at Odesa Polytechnic, Dr. Tamara Rozova, Dr. Nataliia Borodina, Dr. Tetiana Ovcharenko. Here, Dr Smith outlines the project and its findings.
