Amazing Puppet Shows For Your Weekend

By Raymond Cole


Since we were young, we always look up for these animated theatrical plays wishing that the characters involved were real. If you have watched one of these performances, then you are lucky enough. Most people already enjoyed the kind of entertainment social media has given them. However, it is not wrong to look back through those times were entertainment was authentic and genuine. Here are history and 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.

These professionals are trained on how to properly manipulate and control these artificial actors through the use of hands, arms, rods, and other control devices. They studied the details of the script and move their puppets according to the content of their dialogue. We might have tries doing this activity for our school presentations but we might have not tried doing this with utmost synchronization and mastery.

They practiced months before the prior date of presentation. You might have tried doing this during a classroom role play but you never tried performing this with professional manipulation. They practice the techniques of manipulation and multi tasking. This includes talking while doing certain hand movements, laughing while the puppet is crying, quick dialogue shifting, and many other multi tasking.

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.

It is very important to be good in singing and acting. These professionals underwent lengthy training sessions on how to act with their puppets in order to bring out its personality and so that the audiences would completely understand what the story is all about. Their job is not only to portray a certain characters, but also to realize the drama.

These simple activities might be already available in YouTube and Facebook and we do not have to pay for expensive theatrical plays at all. However, we might be curious about how does it feel sitting inside the cinema watching these lengthy plays. It would definitely give us a nostalgic experience.
