abundant library of content D Watching wooden dolls e to life may not be one of the most popular forms of entertainment today, but with over twenty years‘ experience, talented puppeteer (木偶表演者 ) Peter Roberts has earned himself the title ―master puppeteer‖ because of his great ability to turn puppets into believable, almost living characters. ―People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for living and have little appreciation of puppy as a form of entertainment. But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre,‖ he explains. Roberts‘ shows are highly original. ―A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(傻逗 ) to storytelling,‖ he says, Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for. ―Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue.‖ Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures. Roberts‘ interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience, he explains, ―I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to fulltime professional puppeteer.‖ The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, ―Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. I‘ve made some of my best puppets ?accidentally‘.‖ When most people hear the word ―puppetry‖, they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be lighthearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets e serious messages sometimes.‖ he says. 24.
