Rezensionen

'This book promises to be a seminal work on the subversive art of puppetry and the essential work of theatre-making for children and families. The book explores the sophisticated thinking underpinning Sue Buckmaster's approach and illuminates the mysteries of animating puppets and objects. Multiple insights and examples connect the theoretical with the practical processes of creativity, which are always guided by care and curiosity. It is indeed a "ceremonial object" as Theatre-Rites celebrates its 25th anniversary.'

-Elizabeth Lynch MBE, chair of Theatre-Rites

'A gift of a book. A celebration of 25 years of Theatre-Rites, one of the world's most joyous and ingenious theatre companies, and a thought-provoking meditation on children, creativity and object-led theatre.'

-Lyn Gardner, theatre critic and associate editor of The Stage
