Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] what are puppets used for in todays world?


As I read thru all the uses and non-uses that have been mentioned,
one rather simple but, imho,
accurate description is that puppets continue to do what they have  
always done.

They are a tool, a resource.
Puppets are, again imho,
much like many other tools, in that the user can readily decide to  
limit the use to older,
traditional ways or,
easily invent new ways & reasons to use the tool.
But the end result is always, in the most expansive sense,
a tool for doing one of the most important activities that human  
beings engage in.
That is to tell stories.
