Download or read book A Book of Marionettes Classic Reprint written by Helen Haiman Joseph and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Marionettes The story of the marionette is endless, in fact it has neither beginning nor end. The marionette has been everywhere and is everywhere. One cannot write of the puppets without saying more than one had intended and less than one desired: there is such a piquant insistency in them. The purpose of this book is altogether modest, but the length of it has grown to be presumptuous. As to its merit, that must be found in the subject matter and in the sources from which the material was gathered. If this volume is but a sign-post pointing the way to better historians and friends of the puppets and through them on to more puppet play it will have proven merit enough. The bibliography appended is a far from complete list of puppet literature. It includes, however, the most important works of modem times upon marionettes and much comment, besides, that is casual or curious or close at hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Highly recommended." — Library Journal Marionettes, those beguiling, animated little actors on strings, have endeared themselves to puppet show lovers for generations. Constructed to approximate most nearly the movement and appearance of humans and animals, the jointed figures appear today in a variety of places — in the theater, motion pictures, schools, and even as an advertising medium. This instructive and engaging guide, written by professionals with a passion for their art, provides everyone from beginners to veteran performers with all the information needed to create these beloved figures and the stages on which they perform. Enhanced with more than 200 sequenced photographs and diagrams, the comprehensive manual contains valuable advice for making heads, bodies, wigs, and puppet clothing and includes entire chapters on how to manipulate the puppet, set up and furnish a stage, light scenes, and even how to build miniature pieces of furniture. A production chapter tells how to incorporate music, put on sketches, parody celebrities, and arrange programs. There's even a complete script for Beauty and the Beast, as well as a section on the history of puppeteering.

Download or read book Making Marionettes Classic Reprint written by C. Edmund Rossbach and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making Marionettes With interest in an art comes a desire to participate in that art. So it is that when visitors, young and old, crowd back stage after a performance, the inevitable question is asked, How do you learn to make puppets? The inquirer's in ability to do satisfactory work unguided, and his consequent confusion, necessarily result in his prompt loss of interest and desire to participate in this most fascinating occupation. After one has constructed and operated a few marionettes, he will receive boundless pleasure from attempting new and clever features, but unless he is of the rather experimental turn of mind, he will never surmount, unguided, the first marionette. It is my hope that through these drawings and explanations, the more mature novice may sustain his interest and enjoy puppetry, and that those already acquainted with marionettes may perhaps receive new suggestions and aids.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comedies and Legends for Marionettes: A Theatre for Boys and Girls A clever boy or girl can easily make the pup pets Or can use ordinary dolls rather loose in the arm and thigh joints. In the latter case the dolls should have a stout wire around the waist under the clothes, running up the back, secured at the neck by another ring of wire (easily concealed under a ruff or a necklace), thence going up back Of the head for several inches, bent at the end into a hook. A slender wire or a thread with a ring attached is fastened to the right wrist, or, if the marionettes are large, there is one for each arm, which controls the movements of the arm.
