Stevens Course in Puppetry

By Martin Stevens

Originally  a twenty session correspondence course by a founder of the Puppeteers of America, this well-written text is comprehensive and timeless. Step-by-step instructions cover the entire process of conceiving, writing, designing, constructing, rehearsing, promoting, and performing a marionette or hand-puppet production. The entire original text and illustrations are augmented with later revisions plus notes by current puppeteers. Includes a reprint of a 1947 Popular Mechanics booklet. More than 180 line illustrations. 21 colour plates.

                                   "It is a happy day that this material is once again visible and available to nudge young puppeteers
                                       to find their own way of seeing and doing shows." George Latshaw, Puppetry Journal
