In recent years, puppetry has enjoyed a huge revival on the stages
of our theatres, dance venues and opera houses. Large-scale
productions such as War Horse and The Lion King have revitalized
age-old techniques to attract new audiences and develop the power
of storytelling. Puppetry is now seen not only as a specialist art
form that exists on its own, but also as a vital tool in the
armoury of theatrical storytellers. A Practical Guide to Puppetry
offers a comprehensive overview to this versatile art form,
exploring established techniques and offering expert instruction on
styles from shadow puppetry to group puppetry. Each method is
illustrated with practical and accessible exercises, achievable
either individually or in a group workshop or rehearsal. With over
eighty exercises for improvising, training, designing and directing
puppetry, accompanied by 400 illustrations, this new book gives a
complete approach to puppeteering with objects, simple puppets and
puppets with mechanisms.
