Don't hold your arm straight up over your head. If you lean slightly in the
direction opposite the arm you are using you support your arm with your back
muscles as opposed to just your shoulder. You'll feel it when you've hit the
right position.

Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Sore Arms after 1st rehearsal

I designed my theater as I did for that very reason. How on earth could  
puppeteers do the over-the-head thing for years? I set the lip of the stage
so  
that I could rest my forearms against the lip, and thus the puppet would be
at  
the perfect height and I never lifted my elbow above waist level. I know
it's  
too late for that now, but in future shows--
Cheers,
Alice

Hello, 
I've just begun rehearsals for an improvised  puppet show where we're going 
to be working with the puppets over our heads for  90ish minutes.  
My arms were quite quite sore the day after the first  rehearsal. 


Does anyone have any stretching and/or strengthening  exercises they can 
recommend to keep my arms happy? 


Respectfully  submitted, 
Rae
