Subject: [Puptcrit] politics and puppets
Some critters have narrower boundaries than I do. If a situation does us damage, we need to know about it. Not just hazardous chemicals (celastic, MEK, acetone, fumes, nicotine---the latter having killed off many nightclub puppeteers before their time), but AT&T's current effort to change the neutrality of the internet (currently under discussion in the Congress & the Senate) (NOT a hoax)---after all, puptcrit is possible because of the internet.
I learned in gradeschool that many citizens prefer to stick their heads in the sand, and many puppet shows attempt to change that.
Politicians have been portrayed in puppet form, and the shows reflected a spectrum of political views, same as in the Sunday funnies.

Mathieu,
I have one of those dehydrators to make jerky, fruit leather, etc. I've
used that instead of the oven to speed dry. Have you every tried one
of those? It's been very handy to have around and the family is happy
that I'm not taking up the oven with puppets not food. Few things upset
a family more than finding puppet or prop parts in the oven.

Sandy-
Early in my career as a builder my mother became use to opening up
the oven and finding strange objects within. Which usually followed
with her finding me and informing me that if I wanted dinner then I
was to remove said objects.
My husband and children have suffer through random puppet limbs and
heads and other body parts being strewn all over the living room as I
am in the last stages of put them together.
Then there is my box of parts. Puppet things that didn't quite work
but I know I'll find a use for them later. My husband really dislikes
that box. He says it just weirds him out to see what looks like some
sort of grand puppet CSI episode with a serial puppet killer.

You're right. It is a good one. I'm an Encouraging Inventor - which
makes sense for a puppeteer. :-)

Thanks for the suggstion, Sandy.
I would love to try one of these dehydrators someday.
I love to use my oven, and since I live alone, I get to bake whatever I want
in there...
If I ever get a family, I hope they all can appreciate the fun of a puppet
staring at them from the oven...

Hi everybody-
sorry for the mass email. I saw an amazing and scary film last night - AN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH - because MoveOn.org told me to, and by gum, they were
right. Everyone needs to see it; especially this weekend, especially if
you're in NYC, it will boost the numbers for the film's opening weekend and
increase their chances of being distributed farther and wider.
Go see it. Please. It's about global warming and climate change, you can see
the trailer and read more here:
http://political.moveon.org/seethetruth/?id=7766-6897633-bWizZ8uvrLUrYmhR76VCwA&t=4
It's hugely important, and hugely effective, and you might even like Al Gore
just a smidge better after you do. He puts on a good show.
'
Love to you all,
Emmy Bean

Emmy,
Please don't take this the wrong way, but in my
opinion, This is the wrong place to post this sort of
informatioon. Again, it is not Puppet related. If we
ask people like Mark "Cahebay" to not post information
about gun control laws, it seems we should stick to
the rule, regardless of our own
political/pilosophical/religious beliefs.
Granted, you are talking about a film, which is Art,
and thus somewhat related....
I am curious what others here think, since, as Mark
once pointed out, I am not a moderator.
Regards
Greg

If it ain't puppet related then it doesn't belong here. The film is not
puppet related and thus it goes to a forum where discussions on
political/pilosophical/religious beliefs take place.

Thinking of Greg's comments to Emmy's message: good; let's talk about puppet theater. Haven't there been a lot of puppet shows recently about climate change, weather, and the environment? All Species Day parades, educational puppet theater, Muppets, Heart of the Beast Theater, Arm of the Sea Theater, Bread and Puppet's The Uprising of the Beast, and Greenpeace spectacles? Are puppets and masks somehow better fitted to discuss such huge issues, rather than actor-based dramas? Are current shows about the environment somehow related to traditional uses of puppets to evoke the spirits of nature (Green Man in the European tradition, animal and spirit masks in most world traditions)?
Does the Gore film use animation? It's interesting to think of animation (digital, analog, stop-action, motion capture, CGI) as a development of puppet theater, and picture performance (telling a story with still images) as a development of bankelsang, cantastoria, wayang beber, and par vacano traditions.

Deja Vu! .....Deja Vu.....Deja Vu
Ahhhhhhh Brings back the memories of Festivals at
Tulane, 1974.....Kent State, 1979..... & Emory U
-AT- Atlanta 1982.
Tulane with everyone in a overly large auditorium
watching Nixon resign on a console television
sitting dwarfed on a bare stage. As the glowing
animated picture of him made his farewell up from
behind the console arose a puppet of Nixon in
red, white and blue waving a flag and mouthing
the words from the TV. The puppeteer hidden
behind I think was Carrol Spinny or Steve Hansen.
The conservative wing of the P of A walked out
outraged. "This wasn't puppetry" as was the
condemnation of Whilim Waroonies Dadaesque puppet
show using some balloons as women's breasts
Kent State when Richard Bay had to leave early
for alluding to the Kent State killings when he
did his
Potpourri opus mocking muppets, spongees and
yours truly, I thought it was
hilarious,especially when I remembered the taxi
driver who took us to the campus spending the
entire trip blasting hippies and
emphasizing that "they got what they deserved".
The atmosphere there was filled with " bad vibes"
and will be still.
Emory U where The Underground Railway and the
Heart of the Beast made their first appearances
at any Festival and were accused of politicizing
the Festival. The Railway presented an amazing
anti war piece in shadows using for a vehicle
Stravinski's Firebird. At the general meeting it
was suggested by older staid members that
"political statements had no place in the puppet
theater"
Do we always have to be so self absorbed? Isn't
it a goal of puppetry to hold a "mirror up to
nature"?. Too bad Gore didn't use puppets. I
think I'll go to see the movie first chance.
Thanks for bringing it up Emmy and thank you Mr
Bell, as always, most grateful for your comments.
