Constructed to approximate most nearly the movement and appearance of humans and animals, the jointed figures appear today in a variety of places -- in the theater, motion pictures, schools, and even as an advertising medium. This instructive and engaging guide, written by professionals with a passion for their art, provides everyone from beginners to veteran performers with all the information needed to create these beloved figures and the stages on which they perform. \n\u003cbr\u003eEnhanced with more than 200 sequenced photographs and diagrams, the comprehensive manual contains valuable advice for making heads, bodies, wigs, and puppet clothing and includes entire chapters on how to manipulate the puppet, set up and furnish a stage, light scenes, and even how to build miniature pieces of furniture. A production chapter tells how to incorporate music, put on sketches, parody celebrities, and arrange programs. There's even a complete script for \n\u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beast\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as a section on the history of puppeteering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46581129937027,"sku":"SPTM-9780486440170","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9780486440170_spiral_a2310857-5dec-4c9c-b4ac-d9e96840b0d3.png?v=1770802724","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/the-complete-book-of-marionettes-dover-crafts-dolls-toys","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
