Rod Puppet Playtime Day 2

Today was the last day of our Rod Puppet Playtime course. Here are some photos from the day:


Learning to operate the Ningyo Joruri-style puppets. Each of these puppets require 3 people to operate them. We took turns having a go at operating the head, arms, shoulders and waist (while constantly swapping positions).


Creating a 3 action sequence.

Working in groups for a final performance. We used the puppets to create a scene set in an airport departure lounge. The picture shows a family (with a little child at the end who gets left behind)

Another shot from the 'airport' sequence. Here 3 Otome-style puppets played President Obama with 2 body guards.
