Some of My Puppetry Background |
Q: Why do you write puppet scripts? What motivates you? |
To reach children for Christ. |
Q: Tell us about your church or puppet organisation. |
I don't have direct involvement with a puppet group but I enjoy writing. |
Q: How did you get started in puppets and what attracted you to this area? |
I was asked to write some scripts for a puppet group run by other members of my church. |
Q: Where does your inspiration come from to write puppet scripts? |
A seed idea from others starts me thinking and it all goes on from there. |
Q: What advice would you give to someone just starting out in puppetry? |
Communicate clearly - think your ideas through and present them in language that will be readily understood. Don't use jargon unless it is readily used and understood by children (but remember that the currency of words can change or devalue quickly). |
Q: Who are your favourite puppet characters and what do you like about them? |
The two old theatre critics from the Muppets. Such character, such sardonic wit, so well communicated! |
Q: What are the most important qualities in great puppet scripts? |
Truth. Conciseness. Communication. |
Q: What would you do if you were a puppet? |
Interview my "handler". |
