Back to puppets for the Caucus Race. When the song was updated for this play, an intro was added that referred to an elephant and a donkey starting the race. Hmmm, wonder what the reference was. I imagined the two puppets as hobby horses. Originally, I built a mechanism that allowed the elephant's ears to swing, but it didn't work out. I scrapped the whole thing and started over with a solid head carved from foam rubber, skinned in flannel.

Punch and Judy Glove Puppets
1940 - 60
Mr Punch originated in the Pulchinella of Italian Commedia dell'Arte. The earliest Punch and Judy shows in England were performed in Covent Garden in 1662 by an Italian puppeteer using marionettes. Punch's characteristic reedy voice comes from the small 'swozzle' that the puppeteer or 'professor' holds in his mouth.
Punch: wood, corduroy, rabbit fur, velvet and metal braid
Judy: wood, cottonrabbit fur, linen and lace
Made by Wal Kent (died 1961)
Given by the British Toy Theatre & Puppet Guild

Bunraku Doll Puppets from Japan
Painted wood, cloth, human hair
The bunraku doll puppets of Japan uniquely originated in shamanic tradition and transformed into a popular performance form for the common people. The bunraku puppets are animated by three puppeteers visible to the audience: the principal puppeteer animates the head, while the other two puppeteers animate the legs and arms. The carving of the puppet’s faces requires the skill of a master carver.
