Puppetry, a language of integration

Abstract

This paper looks at how technology can increase inclusion and integration in puppetry, and whether such use undermines artistic integrity. It looks at puppetry as a technology and what types of adaption can be made, such as adapting the puppet itself, or introducing animatronics or a computer. The range of power sources that can be used are outlined in the ‘operating technique spectrum’. The benefits of adaptation are discussed.
