Being a Puppeteer is not your everyday occupation. Not many people have met a professional puppeteer, and when they do, are pleasantly surprised at how many other parallel activities they had to do before they could dedicate their lives to the art form. Being a puppeteer combines many skills: acting, singing, improvisation, character voice creation, writing, set construction, painting, sewing, etc. Many puppeteers make their own puppets. Learning about puppetry – the world’s oldest performing art – is a fun process.
