Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH - see it!


As a willing member of this very small community have no problem with being 
informed about "things" that may seem to have nothing to do with the related 
topic. We are all here (in one way or another) because we do share a common 
interest even if that interest is extremely diverse in it's execution.

The information about the movie was offered in just that way.....There was 
nothing um....inciteful in the way the information about the movie was 
presented. Some others here have presented points of view about one topic or 
another in an inciteful fashion. The proof of the illegitamcy of this is 
that, "they took their ball and went home" when universally not agreed with.
We here do not all agree about anything?????? But we do share information.
The ones that stick around and participate I think gain (I gain) from 
divergent points of view. Not everything has to be directly related to 
puppetry to be a valid topic here. Certainly we shouldn't disintegrate or be 
bogged down over differing um political points of view.
As a performer I think that there is nothing....let me repeat that NOTHING 
that doesn't or can't impact some what on what and how I do.

But I am a person who belongs to this community too, besides being a 
puppeteer........
Not everything has to be obviously related.....
So thank you Emmy Bean for sharing the information about this movie.
It was offered in a respectful fashion and isn't that when we get into 
trouble when something is not offered in that way????Respectfully???

My acting teacher used to say that wrestling matches were great pieces of 
theatre. She taught me to play poker because she said it was a great actor's 
game. Martin Stevens used as an example of good dramatic technique a TV 
commercial about dish washing soap. Artists can get patterns from nature. 
None of these things are obvious in their relationship to um art until it is 
made to be so.

Hey even this dicussion here is about relationships in a way and isn't that 
what we work with? Relationship? To puppet, puppet to object or world. 
Performer to object or puppet or world. Puppeteer to materials? ad 
infintum......
