PUPPETRY CLASSES NEAR ME PLUS

Marionettes are suspended and controlled by a number of strings, plus sometimes a central rod attached to a control bar held from above by the puppeteer. Japanese Bunraku puppets are an example of this. Other hand or glove puppets are larger and require two puppeteers for each puppet. Punch and Judy puppets are familiar examples. A hand puppet or glove puppet is controlled by one hand which occupies the interior of the puppet and moves the puppet around. The simplest puppets are finger puppets, which are tiny puppets that fit onto a single finger, and sock puppets, which are formed from a sock and operated by inserting one's hand inside the sock, with the opening and closing of the hand simulating the movement of the puppet's 'mouth'. They can be extremely complex or very simple in their construction. There are many different varieties of puppets, and they are made of a wide range of materials, depending on their form and intended use.

The puppeteer sometimes speaks in the voice of the character of the puppet, while at other times they perform to a recorded soundtrack. Puppeteers use movements from hands and arms to control devices such as rods or strings to move the body, head, limbs, and in some cases the mouth and eyes of the puppet. The script for a puppet production is called a puppet play. Such a performance is also known as a puppet production. 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.
