Puppetry is often dismissed as sideshow theatrical gimmickry or a minor diversion for children. However, in its full bloom, the art of Puppetry is a very demanding discipline. It calls for a diversity of talents that include painting, sculpture, engineering, writing and the creative zeal of a theatrical showman with a relentless imagination.
The puppet artist is a Renaissance man with the soul of an actor and the dexterity of a magician. Puppetry is not academic. The sole path to becoming a proficient puppet artist is through a long and diligent internship. Under the tutelage of a seasoned practitioner, the skills of a puppet artist evolve slowly. Mastery of the composite of skills employed by the puppet artist mature through years of practice, experimentation, creative problem-solving and earnest persistence.
