Introduction:
When a rod puppet figure is seen from head to toe, and it must come to life, the shear number of limbs often necessitates the use of more than one puppeteer. This basic technique is what is used in Czech Black Puppetry, Bunraku, Black Light Puppetry, Green-Screen Puppetry, but for our purposes here we call this simple technique Table-top Puppetry since the figure is using the plane of the table as it’s playboard.
The use of Table-top puppets has increased over the years in television and theater. It has now become a basic requirement for any professional puppeteer.
The skills of performing a single figure with other puppeteers needs to be appreciated.
In table-top puppetry training, we will break down basic principles that apply to a wide variety of team puppetry. There are specific roles and responsibilities that emerge when three puppeteers pick up and begin to work with a full-body puppet character. An understanding of these roles can greatly increase the efficiency of the team-performance.
