If you've been to one of our workshops, or seen one of our shows, or can't get to one of our workshops, or just want to read about doing puppetry, then this is the book for you!
Mark Down captures Blind Summit's methods from over 20 years experience of making and performing theatre with puppets.
The book describes exercises and lessons that we use when we rehearse our own work.
It's laid out with drawings and pictures that illustrate the text.
There's a chapter on designing puppets, a chapter on writing for puppets, a chapter on directing puppets, and a chapter on the different kinds of puppets.
There are exercises for working on a multi-person puppets.
There is a deep dive into puppeting the different parts of the puppet, the role of the puppeteer, and the subtext of using a puppet.
Everything is practical.

Outside UK I am happy to quote individually for postage. Please note that there maybe import duty to pay that I cannot predict. It is especially random in the EU since Brexit.
You can also buy it (cheaper probably!) from many online stockists.
