STUPPETS
Easy, non-tangling dancing marionettes made from stuffies we get from Goodwill. Perform if you want to, but these are made to play with.
The joy of puppets is not watching someone else play with puppets; it’s playing with puppets yourself.
This all started when I wanted to get my kid off screens and realized I needed to get off my screens. I wanted to bring a character, Dr Doctor, PHD, into real life. I ordered a skeleton from Czech Marionettes, and I was hooked.
I ordered a bunch more. Antiques, kits, Hazelle Marionettes, and puppet show discards. The kids’ ones are clunky and hard to use; the professional ones are sleek and responsive, but they tangle easily and are hard to transport. Though the hanging styles were all different, they are all based on the idea of performance. Seems to me to be the wrong direction.
The idea here is to make them easy to use, natural to dance with, and hard to tangle. This is a marionette you can put down and when you pick it up again it just works. IT’s a video game in real life.
Working hard to get these ready to play!

Robert Pattison 17: He said my favourite interview thing ever: “I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an a–holes,” Pattinson admitted. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.” R P 1

We use Ribbons for the arms, A wooden lever for the legs, and a twerk string. This is 7 strings, strung in a way that allows you to drop the puppet and pick it up without tangling. All puppets come with a certificate of authenticity
