This series is a must see!  It is an education in  the works of six
extraordinary  puppeteers.  Not only can you see large portions of
their performances but you get to see another side of Jim Henson.  I
have watched them all through the P of A library and here is another
great reason to be a member of Puppeteers of America.  You may have
heard about these great artists but to actually hear them speak about
their process and see the nuts and bolts of their work is priceless.
As puppeteers, most of us don't get a degree in puppetry but are
home-schooled, self taught or apprentice to a company.  Watching these
videos, whether you go to a public computer or rent them from P of A,
will broaden your knowledge of puppetry.  Richard Bradshaw and Bruce
D. Scwartz alone have influenced my approach greatly and changed the
way I approach puppet theater.  I have heard others say the same about
Albrect Roser's work.  These are masters. Go check them out!
