Calgary Animated Objects Society (CAOS) is a non-profit charitable arts organization based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Founded in 2003, CAOS is dedicated to the arts of mask, puppetry and animated objects, and to building community through art. CAOS's major projects include the biennial International Festival of Animated Objects, and "Spirit of White Buffalo" a giant animated puppet and arts residency. ==Origins and Goals== CAOS provides artistic opportunities through its activities, and initiates youth and community activities such as Young Spirit Voices, an aboriginal youth drama project, the Ramsay〔Ramsay, Calgary〕 "Halloween Scream" and "The Great Ramsay〔Ramsay, Calgary〕 Kinetic Sculpture Race".〔(Animated Objects )〕 CAOS is led by founder Xstine Cook, a mask and puppet artist, who also makes short films, plays the saw, performs spoken word, and is a fire artist. Xstine co-founded and was co-artistic director of Green Fools Theatre for 13 years prior to founding CAOS. Xstine trained at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre in Blue Lake, California.〔(Dellarte )〕 CAOS and the festival propel a very active local mask and puppetry tradition into an international arena, all the while bringing international attention to the city of Calgary. Extensive coverage for the organization can be found in FFWD magazine-Calgary's weekly arts & culture publication: "Calgary is a hotbed of original, unorthodox puppet work" (quote from an article written to cover CAOS's festival).〔 (FFWD Weekly )〕〔(FF Weekly )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calgary Animated Objects Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
