Geared to beginning puppeteers and to adults teaching the art to
children, this offers tips on how to make hand puppets nod, clap,
wave, faint, sneeze, etc. by means of appropriate finger, wrist and
arm movements. There are also sample exercises in improvisation and
general suggestions on the construction of felt hand puppets,
"mouth" puppets (the type often made from old socks, though that
method isn't mentioned here) and simple stages. There are none of
the construction specifics found in Laura Ross' Hand Puppets (1969)
and nothing here to interest the advanced student; rather this is
an introductory handbook for teachers and performers who feel more
comfortable when armed with printed guidance and demonstration
photographs. (Kirkus Reviews)
Lucid, easy-to-follow guide covers voice use and synchronization, stage deportment and interactions, improvisation, staging, lighting, much more.
