Script as Bio-Rhythm

image15.jpg

A puppet script is different --  its very own animal.  And like a living thing, it exists within the perimeters of a bio-rhythm that begins in the feet of the puppeteer and proceeds to the leg, back, arms, and hands.   This is the rhythm that shapes the puppets speech.  It is the force that defines the length of lines and even influences the sounds of the words.  It’s the rhythm that joins puppeteer to the puppet and, thus, to the script.
