Hi, and welcome to Woodenhands, a puppetry and everything else blog. I'm starting this blog because of the puppetry unit to come next semester at Brown... but also because I have all these curious links I'm dying to share... so I'm gonna. If you have an account with blogger already you can let me know your username and I can enable you to post to this blog. If you don't, it's really easy to sign up with blogger (blogger.com) You can post videos and it hosts 300 mb worth of pictures.
All the links to the left are sites I think are worth going to... obviously... but I am going to make formal posts of some of them, to elaborate on why they're connected to puppetry and how I stumbled on them, etc.
In my mind puppets aren't just puppets, they're dolls, automatons, robots, toys and you should feel free to post your really scary wax museum experience or your impromptu brush with ventriloquism. if you want to.
Anyway, that's it for the intro. Email me or Meg with any questions you have about anything. I think I'm also going to start this thing where I post a random picture every week and you can feel free to use it as a writing prompt or just gaze upon it lovingly.
Thanks,
Chen

Chen,
I'm so fascinated by the connection you're making between puppetry and re-animated corpse imagery. It's wonderfully creepy. I had never seen the L'innconue de la Seine story before; I'm still wrapping my head around the idea of a corpse becoming a mask and then a dummy. The Resusci-Anne website has great CPR dummy pictures: www.laerdal.com. I'm so excited by this!
how weird... i have to check out the website later... and i can't wait to get my hands on the barry purves video of "screen play," the japanese romeo and juliet story with puppets. it looks awesome. don't know how to get access to it though.
