Theatre of Hand Puppets
"Theatre of Hand Puppets" is more than instructions for making hand puppets. It is about the creation of puppet theatre - theatre which engages the emotions and intellect of audiences. Drawing on his fifty-plus years of full-time professional puppetry, Luman Coad, co-founder with his late wife Arlyn of Coad Canada Puppets, explains the principles and techniques used in creating their award-winning work. The book has two goals: to pass on the hard-earned knowledge, and to challenge other puppeteers to create great theatre.
