Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Adapting Grimm's Fairy Tales...


Like I said, this is a very open minded town,liberal town. In our community
people value the wisdom of these old tales and would *want* them
preserved.They understand that although they may at times seem violent, it
is not pointless violence and is framed in a way to help kids understand the
role of good and evil in the world. These stories tap into a
child's  unconscious minds in a deep way and can actually help them to make
sense of their physical and spiritual worlds. These tales are important, and
while while we do plan on making a statement at the beginning of the show,
we will make no apologizes.

The integrity of the tale and our passion for the stories is what is
important here and what drives us.

One of the festivals we will be performing the show at will be The Faerie
Worlds festival, which is produced by friends of ours in conjunction with
Brian and Wendy Froud . Hopefully, I will be able to get their feedback on
the show as well.

That said, we do have a long way to go and I am glad that I found this list
and all the many experienced puppeteers to refer to...
