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).
Got a little sloppy on this one... originally had him wearing a cast on his arm, but it looked totally stupid. The puppet may or may not have been Weah's idea...

Another photo from the Oamaru Victorian Festival (I really need to get out and take some new ones!), this puppet was so cool, his mistress was making him dance to some of the live music, run in circles and occasionally she'd put him on her foot, spin around and then fling him into the air.
Well, 2009 is drawing to a close. I think it's been a pretty good year for me apart from a couple of things that went badly. I hope that 2009 went really well for all of you and that 2010 is a fantastic year full of good things coming your way =)
"Puppets never grow up. They are born puppets, live as puppets and die as puppets." (Collodi, 1881).
Is this still true, today?
"I burattini non crescono mai. Nascono burattini, vivono burattini e muoiono burattini." (Collodi, 1881).
E' vero ancora oggi?
A puppet arrives inside the stage of the Puppet Bike theater, ready to perform a song and dance number. More on the infinitely adorable Puppet Bike: www.puppetbike.com
oddly self-absorbed, making and then performing with a puppet of oneself. Sadly this didn't lead to an adequate show.
Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...
She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...

Pinocchio Puppet hangs around with several other small wooden toys I have on my bookshelves. It is a souvenir I bought back from Italy years ago.

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 Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting 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, street lamps, umbrellas trees and graveyards, to name but a few.
We will then attach our puppets on thin vertical sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads projecting them onto the screen.
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 about ourselves.

I piled all of my hairy monster puppets all in one pile, my favorite thing to collect! Some are vintage, some are handmade, some are a mystery!
The brown on the left is an official Mopkins by Wynn Miller Enterprises (70's I think), the pink with the Seuss hat is unknown! Maybe a more recent handmade, not sure! The white (no bottome legs) is 70s 80s old and unmarked, the striped brown is VERY old with no tags, but seems like a company. The black & white spotted hand puppet was a vintage dog, but I remade into monster (see I dood it folder). The two GLORIOUS colored monster orange and pink puppets are locally made (Oregon) by Cheryl Guth, called Cuddly Critters, and have been sold at shows and events going back awhile. The small brown hand puppet with big blue nose is very 70s vintage, but no markings.
Chinese puppet shows featuring traditional folklores or literature classics are a popular form of past entertainment in Singapore. They are often performed in the streets and at temple festivals. The elaborate costumes are based on costumes worn by court officials of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. It's a pity that these dramas are almost extinct now.
These are two of the dancers from a show called 'Puppet' by "Dae-Gu City Modern Dance Company", who are from South Korea, performing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
I met this company on the Royal Mile where they were performing an excerpt from their show. When I showed them some of my shots, the Director was kind enough to invite me along to photograph their show.
It was the first time I had really tried photographing a dance show...and I've never worked so hard photographically...constantly having to recompose and change exposure in response to the lighting and the movements of the dancers.
When the show ended, I was actually interviewed by a South Korean journalist. Life is more interesting in Edinburgh during the Fringe. :-)

We all love it, from the traditional Punch and Judy Puppet Show to sophisticated London's Little Angel marionette theatre. This lovely brooch is a stage of a puppet theatre showing the most cherished children story "The Little Red Riding Hood".
Every single piece of the brooch was crafted and painted by myself. Each piece of one theme is therefore unique and slightly different to one another. The brooch is sealed with two coats of gloss varnish.
The size of the brooch is 30mm x 30mm
I made a few finger puppets for my little nieces and nephew for Christmas and one of my coworkers mentioned that she liked them. I told her I was toying with the idea of making an advent calendar of finger puppets and she loved the idea so much -- these will be hers.
This morning I read Craft Apple and she was starting a Flickr group for an advent calendar sew-along and I realized I'd found my accountability. I sewed the pig and chicken this morning to join the bat, dog and owl I'd made already.
Now if I can only think of 20 other animals I can create in finger puppet form and come up with a way to number and display them, I'll be all set!
