Practical Puppetry

From "The Accidental Drum Circle" to "Totally Twisted", Mark Burrows's resources are always creative, practical, and full of unique ways to bring fun and learning intothe classroom. "Threadbare Theatre's" guide to PracticalPuppertry is all three and more! There are directions for making more than a dozen puppets, ideas for puppet stages, and five scripts. And because puppetry is less about the puppets and more about the puppeteer, you'll learn how to manipulate your puppet, find its voices,and use it to teach music concepts. Mark even shares his Top-Ten Mistakes so that you can be spared the same fate. Children love puppets,and if they love it, they'll learn it. Thanks to "Practical Puppetry", you can bring that learning into your classroom and be good tothe environment at the same time- found objects make up more than 90% of the materials used to make these puppets.
