These Puppets were so much fun. Cut the end off a glove and away you go. We used PVA, and felt, feathers and textas. Grade 1. Thanks to Cristina more of hers here www.flickr.com/photos/manualscanigo/3365193223/

These puppets are found in street of Kathmandu, Nepal as a souvenir for tourist.It represents the dance of a demon in the carnival of God. Durbar Square, a historic plaza in Katmandu, Nepal, facing ancient palaces and adorned by Hindu temples, is always full of eager crowds on the last day of Indra Jatra, the festival celebrating Indra, the Hindu king of heaven. In this divine stage, Lakhe the demon dances among gods and dieties relentlessly and carelessly.
On this night, there are many dances displayed, including that of 12 bhairavs (or manifestations of Lord Shiva). But the most famous dance, and the most intimidating, is the Lakhe dance. The demon, or Lakhe, dances wearing a huge red, terrifying mask with prominent, bawdy eyes. Protruding fangs, serrated teeth, and a dark red wig complete the awe-inspiring countenance of the man-eating demon as he dances and thrashes his limbs. The general belief is that the spirit of the Lakhe resides in the demonic mask, or khawpa. As the dancer puts the khawpa on, the spirit takes over the dancer’s body and dictates the movements.

This is a panel from my program manual. We were suppose to be creative so I made a comic with sock puppets.
“I was watching a soap opera and all of a sudden an earthquake took place,” says Natcharin, a 13-year old girl who lives in Chiang Saen, northern Thailand. “My mum and I hid under the table and bed. If there is a disaster, people in our community will be in trouble."
Natcharin recently attended a 2-day workshop with 29 other children from 4 villages to create characters and stories to use for a shadow puppet show all about disasters.
“In our story, we want to talk about how it isn’t good to ignore flood warnings. I’ll use my knowledge to perform for adults and children so that they know how dangerous disasters can be”.
Shadow puppetry is an effective way for vulnerable children and communities to learn about disaster risk reduction using easy, fun and engaging media. In partnership with Plan Thailand, the organisation Wondering Moon uses shadow theatre to tell stories of disasters.
Puppets, especially good ones seem capable of action by them selves, without assistance from human operators. This type of puppet in particular is used in an epic cycle of stories know to millions of people in Indonesia.
The puppets even have their roles already chosen. This character seems to have a life of his own. As if he'd shed his costume and returned to every day life.
He watches me from the shelf above my desk as i write.
Starting to play around with ideas for the last Assignment. Thinking along the lines of Puppet on a String.
Not the result I intended but a starter for ten. Tripod , black card background, 30 sec exposure, puppets lit only by light coming through a doorway. Puppets strung on a string tied between two wine bottles :-)
Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight, you hold on tight

Backstage action: The puppeteers lit lamps, play music, sing songs and speak dialogues for the shadow puppets which dance in front of the transclucent white screen. A traditional shadow puppet performance from Kerala is called Tolpavakoothu. Leather-made puppets are placed in front of a white screen, while being lit by lamps placed in a row on the other side of the screen. Musicians and puppeteers stand backstage and maneouver the puppets with the aid of sticks attached to the slim leather figures.
The Dangerous Puppets put on an incredible show – you haven’t seen anything like this. Be sure to go see them if they are in your area. www.dangerouspuppets.com

A large shaded park full of vendors, stages, food, and demonstrations of unusual steam powered inventions. A huge Whimsy Circus play area for kids that makes the adults jealous. Handcar races! Free steam train rides! The Roots of Motive Power Annual Steam-up is a trip into history as they fire up giant steam shovels, tractors, logging machines, and a Buffalo Springfield steam roller.

An original graphic novel and webcomic by Paul Schmitt and Derek Edwards. See more at the blog for Puppets A Graphic Novel.
Using a clapped out tape player, the puppets dance while David Perry sings his own interpretations over various songs.He first started performing as the Norwich Puppet Man in the mid-1980s,but in 1997 was forced to quit when his incapacity benefit was stopped because he was earning money through busking. He returned to busking on Gentleman's Walk in late 2005 or early 2006, by which time he no longer needed a busker's licence and internet sites had begun to spread his fame. As he is over 60, he does no longer need a busker's licence.
He usually performs in pedestrian zones located in the city centres of Norwich and Great Yarmouth, typically two or three times a week and mainly in the afternoons and on weekends. In Norwich, the Puppet Man can mostly be found on Gentleman's Walk off St Peter Mancroft and the old Haymarket around the bottom of Hay Hill. In Great Yarmouth he is usually found on Regent Boulevard.
Over the years, Perry's eccentric style of “dancing in the city centre behind his ghetto blaster and waving his puppets in time to an eclectic range of music” has made the Puppet Man a cult figure in Norwich and Great Yarmouth. In a competition organised by Castle Mall shopping centre in June 2007 titled “The faces that sum up why Norwich is such a fine city”, he was named as one of the “25 Faces of Norwich”.
In summer 2008, Perry was hired by a nightclub in Norwich to perform some live action in front of 2,000 people for a student based event. In August 2008, the Puppet Man publicly announced that he was going to stop busking in Norwich and move his activities to Great Yarmouth, but has since continued to appear in Norwich on a regular basis.
The puppets David Perry has used since appearing as the Norwich Puppet Man are:
“Dougal” (a purple dog, on string)
“Roy Waller” (a snake hand puppet made out of a sock)
“Billy McDog” (a canine hand puppet)
“Big Tom” (a duck)
“Mick” (a dog puppet, named after Mick Jagger)
“Brenda” (named after David Perry's wife)
“Basil” (a fox)
“Suzy” (a squirrel)
Over the years, the Norwich Puppet Man has built up a cult following. As a local original, he has even appeared in a series of postcards of Norfolk, claiming to capture unappreciated parts of the county. A group set up in his honour on the social network website Facebook gained more than 4,000 members, and tens of thousands of viewers have watched clips of him that were posted on the video website YouTube.
While Perry's peculiar brand of entertainment has undoubtedly made him locally famous, the quality of the Puppet Man's performances remains controversial. While some describe him as a “legend” and a “great favourite with many shoppers in Gentleman’s Walk”, others find him to be “a noisy obstruction totally bereft of any skill or creativity”. When Perry was named one of the “25 Faces of Norwich”, a local shop manager said about the Puppet Man that he “adds fun to the streets of Norwich, he puts a smile on hundreds of people’s faces every day” while an angry letter from an anonymous reader of the Norwich Evening News branded him a “dullard, in a backwater of inbreeding”.
In line with his varied public perception, Perry has not only been featured in local newspapers and on the internet but also become subject to abuse by some people and sometimes even violence. In September 2010, he was reported to have been attacked in Great Yarmouth. Usually by alcohol fuelled chavs.
