At the County Museum (Shugborough) there is a huge display of puppets that came from a collector in Abbots Bromley.
Strictly speaking they should be called marionettes because they are on strings, puppets fit on the hand.
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.

This was a flexidisc record that came with the 1960s Dick Tracy puppet. I used masking tape to adhere the wobbly disc to a Little Golden Record and its still tightly stuck after all these years. Still plays, too!
A person's maturity consists in having found again the seriousness one had as a child, at play.

Bukhara
The Bukhara Puppet Workshop Museum (locally known as Музей кукол ) is a charming and interactive museum in the historical heart of Bukhara, close to the famous Lyabi-Hauz ensemble. It was founded by master puppeteer Iskandar Khakimov, who has revived the nearly forgotten Central Asian tradition of papier-mâché hand puppets.
The owner or his team give short, humorous demonstrations showing how the puppets "come to life" and dance.
You will learn how the puppets are manually constructed from exactly 12 layers of papier-mâché, after which they are painted with watercolors and given traditional clothing.
This charming fellow is a Sri Lanka vintage handmade Marionette of a demon deity. He's 16 inches tall and made of wood, burlap cotton and interesting rope hair. He's a little stinky. The person I bought it from said they bought it in Sri Lanka on a trip in 1984! Sure glad they decided to sell it. It is teh a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
Just hangin' out temporarily on my bed. Yes, it lights up. ^-^
Day 2: I love puppets. The Muppet Show. Avenue Q. The Storyteller (especially this!). I've always loved the shows that feature these type of puppets.
Kate made sock puppets of each of the authors of 'subject to change.' I'm thinking this may become my buddy icon.
