The
theme for this first volume is puppetry in relation to other
artforms: dance, opera, fine art, street arts, new writing,
etc. It features a series of commissioned articles from practitioners
such as John Fox (who writes Welfare State International’s
puppet story), and Ken Campbell (who gives the reader an inimitable
teach-yourself guide to the art of ventriloquism).
There are articles by academic-practitioners such as Matthew
Isaac Cohen of Royal Holloway London, and an interview with
Anthony Minghella and Carolyn Choa on the creation of Madam
Butterfly, featuring puppetry by Blind Summit.
The eclectic mix of material also includes a paper by PCT
leading light Penny Francis, an investigation of the deeper
darker corners of YouTube, and a reflection on the visit to
London by The Sultan’s Elephant. Visual delights include
a photo strip by Forkbeard Fantasy, and a Timeline of UK puppet
activity in 2006.
An essential purchase for anyone interested in puppetry or
theatre of animation (well, we would say that wouldn’t
we?).
