Subject: [Puptcrit] RE: Asha Dori (sp?) Chinese Leg & Foot Puppetry


I just wanted to thank you all for the information! Having the correct spelling has been a step in the right direction. I'll also research at UNIMA and PUK.

And I'll certainly let you know what I find.

My reason for wanting to work with this is that ever since I was younger, I used to joke that "people don't use their feet enough." So, if I'd drop something I'd use my toes to retrieve it, hee hee. Also, I've taken up yoga and that has helped me strengthen my body for puppeteering (I've focused primarily on video/TV puppetry). 

I just find it interesting to use the body in a unique way to perform with puppets. And this ashi-odori form is a sort of melding of some interests for me.

So, thank you all!

Patrick

ps. If you'd like to check out some of the video and building work I've done, check out this link.
