Question 6 of 25intermediate💡 UnderstandShort Answer3 marks

What was the puppeteer doing? How was he/she moving the puppet? Did the puppeteer interact with the audience or with the puppet? If yes, how?

Correct Answer

The puppeteer moves puppets using hands, rods, or strings attached to the puppet's body. Sock puppets are worn over the hand, while other puppets may use broomsticks, strings, or chopsticks for movement. The puppeteer modulates their voice to match different characters and may interact with the audience through the puppet. During performance, the puppeteer focuses on the puppet while speaking, keeping their own face expressionless so the audience focuses on the puppet.

Explanation

The chapter explains that puppetry is the art of moving puppets either by hand, rods, or strings to narrate a story. It mentions that puppeteers should look at the puppet while it talks to the audience, and their face should remain flat without emotions so that the audience looks at the puppet and not at them.
