Playwriting for Puppet Theatre by Jean M. Mattson Pdf

Playwriting for Puppet Theatre provides a foundation for those puppeteers, teachers and librarians who want to develop suitable scripts for puppet theatre. Mattson explores the difference between traditional theatre and puppet theatre and notes the special characteristics of the various puppets. The important aspects of script writing are then addressed. She considers the many general questions which must be answered by the playwright: the type of puppet to be used, the audience, and availability of resources and facilities. Suggestions are then given for dramatizing original ideas and for adapting well-known stories. The chapter on plot development emphasizes the importance of perspective, transitional material and the need for action. One chapter proposes various ways to develop a character through dialogue, names, and behavior. Another chapter demonstrates how the use of rhyme can add interest and humor to a puppet play. Teachers will find suggestions on how to develop a play on a specific theme or about a specific character. Some attention is also given to the mechanics of writing a play. Includes a group of puppet plays which have been successfully performed by Seattle Puppetory Theatre. Among them are Rumplestiltskin, The Princess and the Pea, The Bad-Tempered Wife, The Golden Axe, The Swineherd, and The Fisherman and His Wife. Production notes follow each script. Several samples of manipulation charts are included which may be used as an aid in blocking the puppets and the puppeteers for the various hand puppet productions.

Uncle Otto's Puppet Theatre by Brigid Grauman Pdf

The heartaches and drama of Nazi persecution are brought to life in this Jewish family saga. Its author, Brigid Grauman, has drawn on the intimate memoirs and diaries of no less than seven of her forebears to recreate a vivid picture of that darkest of eras. 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. The humanity and gifted storytelling of this book emulates the emotional impact of "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "The Hare with Amber Eyes", and is a tribute to the courage of the author's own family.
