| Some of My Puppetry Background |
| Q: Why do you write puppet scripts? What motivates you? |
| I regularly write puppet skits for our two church puppets, Levi and Tyson. We use them during the kids time -- a part of the family service. |
| Q: Tell us about your church or puppet organisation. |
| Not answered yet. |
| Q: How did you get started in puppets and what attracted you to this area? |
| I have to write kids talks almost every week for church. Using puppets is a way to get other people involved and it makes a good change for the kids -- they don't have to listen to me! |
| Q: Where does your inspiration come from to write puppet scripts? |
| I have a bible passage that I need to teach, and I use this website to get my mind going. I often steal a joke or an opening from someone else, then use it in my own script. |
| Q: What advice would you give to someone just starting out in puppetry? |
| Work really hard on your scripts, particularly the 'seam' from the opening [funny] bit to the serious stuff. And make sure you've actually got something solid to say. |
| Q: Who are your favourite puppet characters and what do you like about them? |
| Ernie and Bert on seasame street. |
| Q: What are the most important qualities in great puppet scripts? |
| a good message well communicated and interesting puppet characters |
| Q: What would you do if you were a puppet? |
| Sing a soppy song. |
