Puppetry

Hubpages is a community that encourages writers around the world to share their writings as well as to earn money through it ( That's what I have read). I have been writing in this for five years and I do not write to earn money, not even from the book I have written ( My friends, family and the grannies kept on encouraging me that I should publish my poems as a book, to encourage people and from the sales of the books I could give money for charity after I cover my expenses.)

I just like to share what I have learnt and whatever I have written are suggestions and only creative writing. It's not at all funny when people take every little thing I have written so serious and use it against me. I never meant no harm to anyone through my writings and I do not have any kind of hidden agenda through my writings.

Only once in my life I have actually written a poem having the thought of impressing a guy with something I know I'm really good at. However, I learnt my lesson, God didn't bless me with poetry to impress a guy but to encourage and inspire people. Now looking back I'm actually glad that the guy I tried to impress didn't have the slightest curiosity to read what I have written for him and about him.

Unfortunately for me, I always ends up writing about human nature though how much I try to write about environmental nature. This is where so many misunderstandings happens and I ends up getting into trouble.

Drama on the end of hands. Hand is the actor.

Puppets can reach any person's heart. Since I was a small girl I loved puppetry. I just thought of sharing what I learnt in 2008.

• All ages love it.
• It's a fantastic visual aid.
• If anyone doesn't like to listen us, but they will listen to the puppets.
• Great teachings been told.
• Puppets can talk more than man.

1. Never fight with puppets, because we cannot say the love of God. (Not even as a joke)
2. Committed to the ministry. No holding by nose, ears or mouth. (Inside is cardboard so easily can be damaged)
3. Hold a puppet like a baby.
4. Walking the puppet into the stage by using 4 steps.
5. When walking off the stage, needs to look back and then down, and should go away from 4 steps.
6. Don't come hopping, in an elevator or a lift.
7. Puppets belly bottom should be seen on stage. Not too high, not too low. Arm has to be stretched out.
8. Height of the screen= Height of the tallest person when the arm is stretched out. Small/ short people has to use a platform. Eg:- Wood, chair.
9. Stage can be made of anything - Board, wood, plastic.

• Mouth opens for each syllable
• Move according to the lip-sing.
• Puppeteer needs to sing and speak each word into rhythm.

The 4 P's :

Prayer

Practice

Patience

Perseverance

* Different from the puppets in behind the stage.

* They have legs.

* Can win the favour of people.

* Can see the peoples' expressions and puppeteer can re-act to it.

* Character should be described.

Most Important tool - Your Voice,

• Drink plenty of water
• Avoid caffeine and dairy products.
• Need to be volume up so rest your voice.

What type of puppet do we need?

Dummies, Ventriloquist partners = puppets

• Mirror - To keep your mouth still.
• Teaching tools - CD's and books.

.

• Get a stick or a pencil and keep between the two upper and bottom teeth.
• Don't shut the whole mouth.
• If you shut the mouth, you'll only hum.
• Just let a small air to come out.

• Ventriloquism is like magic.
• Lips are kept still as possible.

Examples :-

1. Big boy plays boy ( Think this, but won't say 'B' or 'P' instead say 'D' or 'th' like this) : Dig doy thlays doy.
2. Furious fox fixes fences. : Thurious thox thixes thences.
3. Marvellous magic in Martin : Narvellous nagic in Nartin.
4. Peter piter picked a petal : Theeter thiter thicked a thetal.
5. Very funny boy : Thery thunny doy.
6. Where is the water? : Ooar is the oter?

Being a Christian believer I like to share what I have learnt

As I don't like to see anyone go to the eternal damnation

Revealing about the love of Jesus Christ is my desire

None can understand the Bible without The Holy Spirit's power.

Heavenly God created the first man and woman

To have a fulfilling fellowship and conversation

He gave them the freedom of choice and didn't force

He expected them to choose wisely for worthy cause.

But the evil one who was jealous of the humans

Deceived the woman and he is still a great nuisance

So the Papa God sent His only Son to save us

So that we would be able to have fellowship without a fuss.

Just imagine, having this limited life span

People are killing each other for this and that since life began

After the sin if they had eaten from the tree of eternal life

Would be eternally living like zombies for the rest of the life.

This is why Jesus Christ came, died and rose again

So that He could save people from the dead

Hell is not a place suitable for anyone to go

I like sharing so that to Heaven we all can go.

I was a little sad, sadder than the usual

Then I saw a young girl with her mama I think

She looked so painful, kept on saying she can't go

Her mama said, just a little more to go.

A special need child who found it so hard to walk

Short haired beautiful girl whom God had made

All I could do was say a heart-felt prayer on behalf of her

I hope Father God would take a good care of her.

She reminded me of the time I went to learn puppetry

I saw a very fair gorgeous foreign lady

She was surrounded by so many special need children

She was loved by all at the Rehabilitation special children.

I just admired her kind heart and loving nature

It’s so amazing that one could have that kind of love for another

It’s something that I’m not at all comfortable with

As I take a lot of time to get to know a child with whom I might play with.
