Chapter 4

Chapter 4 had many interesting and crazy puppets.   I thought that the humongous puppets were really cool.  I thought that the puppets who changed gender were the coolest ones of the chapter though.  Having the ability to have two actors with only one puppet frees up the puppeteers hands.  Can you imagine a show with four characters but only two puppets?  The possibilities are endless.  I found a video on Youtube of a humongous gender changing puppet.  It was interesting seeing how they made the switch from male to female and how they kept it believable. 

Here is the Link to the video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1dYBlY0P-U

Briefly give example of how puppets “cross-bred” early in their history.
