This is the Shadow puppeteer's bible. The book explains everything you need to know about shadow puppetry. It's got easy to understand text, step by step illustrations not only to make the puppets, but the stage as well. This book is great for school projects, girl scout and boy soout projects and any one who wishes to give shadow puppetry a whirl
If you're interested in shadow puppetry, this is the book for you.It covers all the main aspects of the genre; history, techniques, fabrication, lighting, etc...The quality of the images are stellar, the text is easy to read, the research thorough.I really think this book is a little gem and has become my reference for shadow play theater.
I actually purchased two additional books on shadow puppets for an upcoming performance. THIS book covered a little bit of everything from types of shadow puppets, materials, staging, lighting set-ups and positioning, fastening methods, colored shadow puppets, and more! Tons of beautiful photographs so it's easy to see exactly what is being written about.There are not "templates" to photocopy and make your own puppets, or printed scripts/ stories. The book is focused on professional use of shadow puppets. Our show starts in a week and without this book, we'd be having a hard time "figuring things out" on our own. I've never felt compelled to write a product review before, but this book is just THAT great!!
A wonderful book with colorful plates and enjoyable text. It was a gift to me so I can't talk about shippng etc. I love this book. I think it would be great for those who are just curious, to those pursuing shadow puppetry, to those who have already done some shadow work.
The better text and introductory primer that is currently available on the mainstream for the study of shadow puppets, silhouettes, and the like through the performance of plays and animation.
