Following a brief retrospective of the fascinating ancient art of puppetry, Latshaw offers clear, abundantly illustrated suggestions for preparing for a performance, explains how to construct several types of puppets, and presents a series of exercises that promote the development of distinctive voices for characters and the translation of human body language into puppet movement. Readers will also find a wealth of expert advice on designing stages and puppet environments, writing and adapting plays, and directing productions. A chapter on performance-related tips features helpful hints on scheduling, setting up, handling hecklers, and making an exit thats both efficient and graceful.
