First, I will meet the composer, Amanda.
She will sing a song called Laundry Blues.
Then, I will meet the props designer, Robert.
He will show me how to make a suds blower.
Finally, I will meet Bubbles and Phil.
They will guide me on my very own laundry exploration.
Any non-living object that represents a living character
A person who moves a puppet, to make it look like the puppet is alive
A person who writes music
Moveable objects used by actors on stage
A person who creates props for plays
The puppeteer’s breath should sync up with the puppet
The puppeteer’s eyes should always be on the puppet
The puppeteer should be aware of how their body moves in relation to the puppet they’re creating
For example:
I can share my Laundry Puppet Dance Party by sending pictures or a video to access@lincolncenter.org
If I want to get right to the part of the video featuring Toy Puppetry, I can skip to 9:58 in the video.
If I want to get right to the part of the video featuring Sock puppetry, I can skip to 17:07 in the video.
If I want to try these other forms of puppetry, I can puppeteer a favorite toy or a favorite sock!
While I try Toy Puppetry and Sock Puppetry, I will keep the three key elements of puppetry in mind: breath, focus, and movement.
Which type of puppetry is my favorite?
Laundry Puppetry
Toy Puppetry
Sock Puppetry
