Product Description
From the Author
Recently I took two London School of Puppetry students to a primary school for their session on learning how to work with an audience. They performed their marionette pieces -two puppet characters - one a drunk who falls into dog pooh, the other a character called Brenda who is hiding in the toilet too shy to join in her own birthday party.
There were some children in the audience who I knew were not too bright but their attention was totally held by the marionettes - not only did they laugh at the comedy - but they saw underneath it to the unutterable misery of the drunk fallen in the street 'With no-one to help him'...'I thought of his family'. They shared in Brenda's predicament-and the shared terror of being new in a strange place - 'going to a new club' 'having to stand up and do something to a lot of people' and 'Maybe her parents have split up and after a long time they are all together again' 'maybe it's all grown ups out there in the party'.
The art of the puppeteers brought out the hopes and fears of the children watching - expanded imaginations - gave every child a creative context for thought and language.
When I wrote the revised edition of 'I am the Story' I scrapped so much of the old - because long ago as a new puppeteer I was putting all the words into my audience's mouths - and as I became more experienced I started to watch and listen more - and I realised when one of my audience said 'I AM THE STORY' the puppet was freeing them not to imitate me but to express their lives through the subversive route of the doll.
