520    In recent years, puppetry has enjoyed a huge revival on 
       the stages of our theaters, dance venues and opera houses.
       Large-scale productions such as War Horse and The Lion 
       King have revitalized age-old techniques to attract new 
       audiences and develop the power of storytelling. Puppetry 
       is now seen not only as a specialist art form that exists 
       on its own, but also as a vital tool in the armory of 
       theatrical storytellers. A Practical Guide to Puppetry 
       offers a comprehensive overview to this versatile art form,
       exploring established techniques and offering expert 
       instruction on styles from shadow puppetry to group 
       puppetry. Each method is illustrated with practical and 
       accessible exercises, achievable either individually or in
       a group workshop or rehearsal. With over eighty exercises 
       for improvising, training, designing and directing 
       puppetry, accompanied by 400 illustrations, this new book 
       gives a complete approach to puppeteering with objects, 
       simple puppets and puppets with mechanisms.
