I've met quite a few. The most impressive I've seen at puppet movements almost all had dancing backgrounds. They sure know their bodies and how to transfer energies. I wonder if Basil Twist has a dancing background as well? When I saw him live last spring with his Stickman, I was hynotised by the magic his puppet made! In his case, there was no competition for the public's attention. Both puppet and puppeteers were of the same act, a seamless union such as I've never seen before or since. More than dance partners, they almost seemd like a single being inhabiting two bodies at once, if that makes sense. I'll always remember the scene near the end where Stickman takes flight slowly, the leg of the puppeteer becoming the means to elevation. Mathieu René Créaturiste Marionnettes, Masques, Etcetera...
