Subject: [Puptcrit] Why I like Puppets


It seems to me that Avatar (on one level) is conceptually about a new kind of puppet and puppeteer.

For me....Puppets can be the essence of character...(in a live performance) the suspension of reality is um suspended.
What you see is what is...not pretense.

Also there is not one discipline that does not or can not inform the puppeteer.
See it as a supreme theatre art because it can and does draw on all performance and other mediums.

Yet also remains (or can remain) accessible...

Mark
