Subject: [Puptcrit] Narration ~ When to use and how much is too much ?


I was wondering if folks could write a bit about narration in regards to
puppet shows. Any thoughts at all.

How much is to much ? When is it most appropriately used ? How should it not
be used, and anything else that relates.

We are looking at adapting the tale,

The Nixie of the Millpond, http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm181.html  , for
our first show. My temptation is to use  a lot of narration to transition
some of the scenes ..but I know that is a no, no..that I need to think more
in terms of action...

I was wondering however, when and how is it preferable to use it..
