Iranian puppet maker wins Arlyn Coad Award 2010 in Canada

TEHRAN, Aug. 4 (MNA) -- Iranian puppet maker Sima Mirza-Hosseini won the 6th Arlyn Coad Award in Canada.

Mirza-Hosseini was awarded for designing and making puppets for the play “Arash” that was put on stage by the Derakht-e Sib Troupe.

She won the prize for creative design of puppets and usage of proper material for making them which helps in the mythical narration of play.

The prize was established in memory of Arlyn Coad by her husband and puppeteer partner Luman Coad. The Arlyn Award Society searches for “truly outstanding” design in puppet theater.

Sima and Fahimeh Mirza-Hosseini won the Best Director Award for “Arash” at the 12th Mobarak International Puppet Theater Festival in 2008. She brought Arlyn Coad Award home to Iran for the first time.

The Arlyn Award and the prize endowment fund are administered by the Arlyn Award Society, an independent, charitable-tax status society registered in British Columbia, Canada.
