Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which originally appeared as a special issue of TDR/The Drama Review, looks at puppets, masks, and other performing objects from a broad range of perspectives. Puppets and masks are central to some of the oldest worldwide forms of art making and performance, as well as some of the newest. In the twentieth century, French symbolists, Russian futurists and constructivists, Prague School semioticians, and avant-garde artists around the world have all explored the experimental, social, and political value of performing objects. In recent years, puppets, masks, and objects have been the focus of Broadway musicals, postmodernist theory, political spectacle, performance art, and new academic programs, for example, at the California Institute of the Arts.This volume, which originally appeared as a special issue of TDR/The Drama Review, looks at puppets, masks, and other performing objects from a broad range of perspectives. The topics include Stephen Kaplin's new theory of puppet theater based on distance and ratio, a historical overview of mechanical and electrical performing objects, a Yiddish puppet theater of the 1920s and 1930s, an account of the Bread and Puppet Theater's Domestic Resurrection Circus and a manifesto by its founder, Peter Schumann, and interviews with director Julie Taymor and Peruvian mask-maker Gustavo Boada. The book also includes the first English translation of Pyotr Bogatyrev's influential 1923 essay on Czech and Russian puppet and folk theaters.

Book excerpt: The heartaches and drama of Nazi persecution are brought to life in this Jewish family saga.

Brigid's book combines the searing experiences of her family with her own compassion and affection. Her family members spring to life and step from the page. "Uncle Otto's Puppet Theatre" takes the reader through two centuries of Jewish life, spanning peasant years in rural Moravia to headlong flight from Central Europe and hard-earned new lives in America.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I engage with the particularities of the puppet stock character through historical, archival sources and through the robust discourse which surrounds the medium, with the world's first journal devoted to the puppet theater beginning in Prague in 1912 and active discussions in publications for pedagogues, community organizers, scholars, and puppeteers. The scholarly discourse which emerged during the Czech puppet renaissance served as the foundation of puppet theory in twentieth century Europe, addressing the fundamental questions of what a puppet is, what it can do, and how audiences experience puppet performance. These texts-- beginning with the philosopher of aesthetics Otakar Zich's work in the early 1920s and continuing through the interwar in the semiotics-focused publications and lectures of the Prague Linguistic Circle--provide the immense questions underlying the dissertation and puppet theory broadly. By making the discourse on the very nature of the puppet both a resource and an object of inquiry, I present a new mode of engagement with the Czech tradition and a model for using puppet theory as a mode of reconstructing and studying historical practice in the puppet theater.
