Amazing Puppet Shows For Your Weekend

By Raymond Cole


When you were a kid, you might be interesting on what it feels like to be a puppet. Well, we all know that these are just animated objects which are controlled by some person at the back or beside them. Before we talk more about our childhood point of view, here are interesting facts about puppet shows Chicago.

People tend to disregard the essence of historical and ancient creations especially the beauty of their arts. One of their outstanding art discoveries are the theatrical plays. People usually pay a big amount just to watch one of these storytelling events. They usually go out on a Sunday with their family and spend time inside theaters and this is all because they have no other entertainment devices.

These people were enjoying their time more than we do because instead of sitting on the coach looking at their phones, they spend time in theaters with their family. Puppet shows are common most especially in the United States. It is a form of play or presentation wherein performers involve puppet manipulation using their hand or both hands.

Professional performers are mostly actors and actresses. They made their puppets according to their personality and character or anything in resemblance to an animal or human. These people are called puppeteers. Average puppeteers only use one or two puppets at a time because it takes a certain amount of skill to practice their movement and to synchronize their left and right hand.

Their acting and singing skills must be hones to fully portray the role of their assigned puppets. These puppets are usually made by the actors themselves because they thought that the more time they spend with their objects, they would be more confident to perform with them. Controlling these toys is not an easy job.

It is not easy to memorize the entire script, matching the movement of your hands with the tone of your voice most especially when it already involves eye blinking, ear movements, and eye rolling. You must be an expert of multi tasking before you present yourself in front of the pool of people. You should also be confident enough in order to project the character of your assigned puppet.

Some puppeteers make their own puppet so that it could be much easier for them to master their controls. The more time they spent in making these objects, the more they become comfortable in handling them. Some of them are also the script writers themselves because it would be much better if they are the actors of their own storylines.

This began in Greece when they still utilize socks as their characters. Some reports have shown that this actually originated three thousand years BC wherein they use them as a material for rituals, religious objects, religious performances and symbolical representations. They also use it during celebrations wherein they represent a person and this created a psychological impact to the earliest societies.

This profession would definitely influence your entire being. That is why when we were young we are well entertained by these actors. Meaning to say, the way they perform is effective for us. If you aspire to become a puppeteer someday, then practice as early as now.
