Puppetry Arts Institute

My "Popular Arts and Vernacular Aesthetics" class took a trip to the Puppetry Arts institute in Independence, Missouri. Puppetry is actually a very serious art form that we commonly neglect. The japanese commonly use 3 people to work a puppet. One will spend years just learning to work the legs on a marionette, then they move on to the right arm, and finally the left arm and head.

They had a showcase of Australian puppets, including the "Bushranger" and a couple Roos. Apologize for the cell phone pics. =)




Harry Truman, former president of the US, from Independence.
