These wooden hinged dolls are used with a board that is vibrated by hand. The puppets feet are standing on the board and as the board is twanging up and down it hits the feet and makes the puppets dance. They can be made to dance a rhythem which sounds like tap dancing or step dancing. It's a French Canadian folk art. I haven't a clue what they are really called

Making traditional Javanese Shadow Puppets at the Sultan's Kraton in Yogyakarta. A reused bicycle spoke and mallet are used to perforate the buffalo hide leather.
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 old sketch was for a really deep theater that i thought i had a chance to build, but knew i had no clue what to do with.
1.) There were puppets behind a shadow screen in the background.
2.) conventional rod and hand puppets appeared in front of the screen.
3.) Narrative actor appeared in front of the stage/wall.
Original design by Omri. Susie made the puppet. Find the template at www.easy-child-crafts.com and enjoy!
This is my version of the Loki puppet first knitted by mariannes_stuff and I thank you for telling me the idea of how to knit this insanely adorable puppet! And it's so fun to play with!

For years, my daughter & her children have been involved in the Bare Bones Day of the Dead Puppet Parade & Stilt Walking, Fire Twirling, Music Extravaganza, in Minneapolis --https://barebonespuppets.org/2022-show/ . We won't be in Minneapolis for the parade, but were happy for the chance to see what was being made.
The wife's fights Saturday and Sunday were performed as a 'puppet' fight. Two mages control them with magic and battle it out.
(transferring the camera over to my son didn't go so smoothly, so a slight bit missing)
An interesting site as we walked down the street in Jianyaun. We heard this puppet show before we saw it, as the audio was blaring quite loudly from the speaker below the stage. It sounded like the public address address in the movie 1984, except in Chinese!
This was parked on the corner of Water Tower, it was a puppet stage attached to the back of a bike. The thing was totally portable which was amazing.
Only in Chicago (or New York)
One very popular form of entertainment in Prague are its puppet theatres, and you’ll find puppets for sale in many of the souvenir shops in the tourist areas.
Marionettes first came to Bohemia in the late 1600s, brought in by performers from across Europe, notably France, Italy and the Netherlands, but by the 1700s, the Czechs had established their own companies.
At first these puppets were almost lifesized, and were used as a cheaper alternative to paying real actors. Some shows used only puppets whilst others had a combination of live actors and marionettes, depending on what they could afford. Eventually though, as the puppet makers developed their skills and wanted to experiment, they began to make more stylised puppets, using the form and appearance of the puppet to portray or emphasise certain attributes of the character.
Today you’ll find various performances running in Prague, perhaps the most famous being the National Marionette Theatre in the Old Town, which famously performs Mozart’s Don Giovanni using puppets (Don Giovanni also has a strong connection with Prague, having had its world premiere here in 1787).
Puppets is actually a general conclusion based upon the other photographs. The chess board pattern on the floor, walls and ceiling suggests that once controlled, people end up taking irrational decisions that eventually will leave them in impossible situations. The human element is set alongside a giant chess pawn in order to emphasize how far governments and corporations can go in order to manipulate us into working in their interest. Ever since we are born, we are indoctrinated with their ideas and suggestions, so much so that in the end we no longer realize they are there, in the shadows, telling us what to do.
I have no idea who these two girls were or where they came from but I loved this. The puppets were playing along to I Could Be Happy by Altered Images, which I was particularly impressed with since their puppetmasters (mistresses?) clearly hadn't even been born in the 1980s.

Edit: It's The Little Theatre Of Dolls (Frida Alvinzi and Raisa Veikkola). They're not just puppeteers, they also build the puppets and write the plays. And they were born in the 1980s after all, but still aren't old enough to remember Altered Images. (Thanks Abaraphobia for identifying them.)
