Puppetry expert Mervyn Millar was part of the creative team for the National Theatre's War Horse, and here he channels his knowledge, experience and passion for this fast-growing art form into an accessible guide to creating and performing with puppets. Suitable for students of all ages, as well as for theatre directors, designers and performers, this well-illustrated book is a treasure trove of practical advice and insights into puppetry.
Millar skilfully takes the reader through a process of building up an understanding of working with puppets, from the most basic ideas to more challenging techniques. This is interwoven with a series of fun exercises and improvisation games, which encourage participants to get a feel for bringing inanimate objects to life, and to experiment with different types of objects and materials to create simple puppets.
