Description	Puppetry is a form of theatre or performance that involves the manipulation of puppets – inanimate objects, often resembling some type of human or animal figure, that are animated or manipulated by a human called a puppeteer. Such a performance is also known as a puppet production. Uzbek puppetry is considered to be a traditional art genre, which evolved in the form of an ancient traditional theatre of people. Folk puppeteers used "qol qoghirchoq" (puppet played with hands or gloves), "ip qoghirchoq" (puppet-marionette), "mayda qoghirchoq" (small puppet) or "katta qoghirchoq" (big puppet). Main feature of the puppetry is that main heroes are puppets and an actor, who manipulates them, hides behind the scene. The puppet show, which combined traditional as well as contemporary ideas, was staged together with folk pantomime dances, under accompaniment of music of national instruments. In the ХХ century there were more than 40 troupes of traditional puppet theatre in Uzbekistan. Most of them were engaged in hand puppet ("Chodir jamol"), the marionettes theatre ("Chodir hayol"), on the other hand, it was possible to see only rarely in Tashkent, Bukhara, Qoqand, Samarkand and Khiva. At present this art is being revived again thanks to the activity of craftsmen, who make puppets and actors-puppeteers. Puppet making is an ancient type of folk applied art. This type of art was evolved as a result of human’s relationship with the nature. Initial puppets were animalshaped and made of clay. They became more complicated step by step. Central Asian people mainly occupied with agriculture and cattle-raising and their art was associated with their lifestyle. Uzbek people have always loved children. Children always need dolls and puppets. Such puppets as sheep, lamb, duck, geese, roosters, fish, shell whistled and others were among them.
Social and cultural significance	In the ХХ century in Uzbekistan there were more than 40 troupes of traditional puppet theatre. Traditional puppet theatre became the basis for the emergence of the contemporary one. At present in Uzbekistan there are 12 national puppet theatres. Parallel to them there are more than 20 amateur puppet theatres, which bear the name of "People's Collectives" and a great number of amateur talent groups. In addition, leaders as well as actors for professional and amateur collectives are being trained at higher and secondary specialized educational institutions. Special decrees for support this genre have been adopted. Main social function and meaning of the element is to direct youth correctly. Of particular note are the recently adopted documents for the development of puppet art. Thus, a decree was issued according to which the status of the Uzbek National Puppet Theater is assigned to the Republican Puppet Theater. It is also equally important that the creation of regional puppet theaters and their full support and full development are actively and purposefully envisaged. Upon that introduction of industrial production of various toys and puppets resulted in diminishing role of handmade ones. It is for this reason such directions of folk puppet theatre as Chodir jamol, Chodir khayol, Fonus khayol and puppet heroes as Kachal Polvon, Bichakhon (or Bikakhon) almost disappeared. And thanks to Independence this type of art, which is part of national heritage, began to be revived. If most of the puppets and toys were created in Bukhara, Ferghana Valley and Tashkent, in Khoresm gift puppets and toys began to be produced by a group of master craftsmen. At present puppet-making is considered integral part of folk crafts and is under protection of the state, which encourages and promotes its development. Puppets and toys are made using local materials like it was in the past. In addition to that some new ideas and techniques are being introduced in making puppets and toys to meet the demands of our times. Also, respectful attitude is demonstrated to those, who puppets and toys, on the background that they are indeed very important in educating children. Particularly private exhibitions of puppets are organized, special shows abroad are held, international master classes are conducted. Puppets and toys made of paper, glue, cloth, cotton, wood, straw and clay attract attention of fellow countrymen and foreign tourists and to some extent provide information about centuries-long history, culture and spiritual life, existing in the country.
Transmission method	Original traditional performance has been disappeared and the professional groups are establishing. The method of transmittion of Uzbek puppetry art is mainly through art schools, colleges and universities and partially through master-apprentice method. Transmission of knowledge and skills is based on traditional non-formal learning method Usto-Shogird (“Master-Apprentice”)
Community	Puppet theatres and individual performers, hobby groups in culture centers, schools, kindergartens Uzbekistan Republican "Khunarmand" Association and its branches
