Uneducated builders and performers that call themselves Puppeteers, are what earn us low fees and lack of respect as artists. I left standard theatre because of the whole Back stabbing, unsharing attitude. Puppetry is an art form where the majority of the industry members help each other to become better and in so doing, making the Art form itself stronger and more respected. There will always be the few who feel that they must horde their ideas to succeed, but really we truly succeed when all the members of our chosen industry present themselves in a knowledgeable and professional manner. I personally embrace the attitude of sharing makes us stronger, and have been there for newbies on many occasions. I have also benefited from others sharing their knowledge with me and my company, allowing me to present a client with a successful performance or puppet. I'm sure there are those that might disagree with this, but I think there are more that would agree. Just my two cents. Liz K.
