Pardon my french (native language), but I cannot seem to find an english appelation for a type of puppet I make. I think most people call it bunraku, but I would like to make sure with you guys, as many french pupeteers make a distinction between the two. The one type I'm talking about needs a puppeteer (or more) who is not hidden, or just barely visible. In french, we call it "manipulation à vue", which could translate into: "manipulation revealed". It is rather confusing, as bunraku has a strong tradition and specific methods behind it. The puppets I make are so varied in construction and movements and are far from the bunraku design. What would help alot would be a Lexicon of puppetry terms. Got any idea if one exists online? For now, my only pupetmaking book is in german, which I do not comprehend.... great construction pictures though. ---------------------------------------------- Mathieu RENE CREATURISTE Marionnettes, masques, ateliers créatifs pour tous, etc. Puppets, Masks, creative workshops for all, etc. Toujours à l'affut de nouvelles opportunités!
