Download or read book Making Marionettes Classic Reprint written by C. Edmund Rossbach and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 212 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved Coretta Scott King Award–winning storyteller and creator Ashley Bryan reveals the vibrant spirit of found objects in this magnificent treasury of poetry and puppets. Little Cranberry Island. It’s a small island, with fewer than a hundred inhabitants, but it’s got more than its share of treasures—including the magnificent Ashley Bryan himself, a world-renowned storyteller and author of such classics as All Night, All Day and Beautiful Blackbird. Daily, for decades, Ashley has walked up and down the beach, stopping to pick up sea glass, weathered bones, a tangle of fishing net, an empty bottle, a doorknob. Treasure. And then, with glue and thread and paint and a sprinkling of African folklore, Ashley breathes new life into these materials. Others might consider it beach junk, but Ashley sees worlds of possibilities. Ashley Bryan’s two-foot-tall hand puppets swell with personality and beauty, and in this majestic collection they make their literary debut, each with a poem that tells of their creation and further enlivens their spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other performing arts, puppetry is perhaps the only art form in which directing, acting, writing, designing, sculpture, and choreography are combined. In effect, the performer is creating an artistic entertainment that will appeal to audiences of all ages — in homes, in theaters, and in classrooms. This lucid, easy-to-follow book was specifically conceived to teach beginners how to bring a hand puppet to life and how, with practice, to develop the skills needed to mount an amateur puppet show — complete with staging, costumes, and special effects. Award-winning puppeteers Larry Engler and Carol Fijan provide ingenious finger, wrist, and arm exercises that are crucial for creating a full working range of puppet motions and emotions. They also cover the elements of good puppet theatrical technique: speech, voice use, and synchronization; stage deportment and interactions; improvisation, dramatic conflict, role characterization, and more. Every detail is clearly explained and beautifully illustrated with photographs, specific chapters being devoted to the use of props, puppet voices and movements, the construction of simple stages and lighting effects, and much more. A splendid addition to the literature on this subject, Making Puppets Come Alive is "the best book on hand puppetry we've seen." — The Whole Kids Catalog.
