Section – A 

Q.1 Read the article “Puppetry – A Dying Traditional Art’ and complete the statements given below.

1. In the stress ridden world, traditional pastimes that could prove therapeutic are dying for want of patronage. One such is the art of puppetry. The word puppet is derived from the Latin word pupa, meaning ‘doll’ or ‘girl’. Puppets came into being in India in the third century AD. Here it was honed into a theatrical art. It helped to propagate the works of saints and religious leaders, and also depict stories from epics. Later, it spread to South East Asia. The Cambodian puppeteers inspired Thais. Java and Bali followed, though it didn’t catch on in Sumatra. The Malays followed the Siamese and Japanese styles in the nineteenth century.

2. Gradually, puppets became more sophisticated in appearance, as skilled craftsman began to make the models. Puppeteers became trained as performers. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, puppet theatres became extremely popular in artistic circles. Writers like George Sands and Goethe organized their own well-prepared puppet shows to entertain their friends. George Washington even wrote down the sum he had spent, to take his family to the show. Puppet shows have been mentioned in literature by Shakespeare, Ben Johnson and many others.

3. However, with the advent of World War II, there was decline in puppetry. Most of the young men were called to arms. Basically, there are three kinds of puppets. Shadow puppets are made of translucent leather and coloured vegetable dyes. Buffalo, goat or sheep skin is treated to become translucent. Limbs are jointed loosely, so that they can be made to move separately. A stick is attached vertically in the middle. Movement of the sticks causes general movements. But for special movements, single strings attached to the limbs are used.

4. These leather puppets are projected on a screen, which is illuminated by a light source placed behind the puppets. The puppeteer sits behind the source of light and manipulates the puppets to form moving shadows on the screen, He also speaks the parts, sings, or is accompanied by music. The light source is a bowl filled with castor or coconut oil, and lit by a wick. These are now replaced by low-voltage electric bulbs.

5. String puppets involve puppets that are manipulated by six strings. The performance is on a stage six feet long and four feet wide, with a background of blue or black cloth. The puppeteers are never seen. They wear anklets which produce the illusion that the puppets themselves are dancing. The main story teller recites the story line, while the puppets perform, and the dialogue and music is provided by the puppeteers.

6. Rod or stock puppets are constructed around the main central rod. A short horizontal bar serves as the shoulders, from which the upper limbs dangle. The arms, made of cloth and stuffed with straw or paper, are jointed or manipulated with other thinner rods. These puppets can be the size of a human being. The puppeteer hides behind the puppet and manipulates it. Coordination of the limbs comes only through practice.

 
7. Body puppets are made with cloth and manipulated with hand and fingers. One needs deft finders for movements, and a ventriloquist’s voice to simulate speech.
 
8. Construction of puppets needs good powers of observation and the ability to replicate characters, something like a cartoonist. It needs a basic knowledge of anatomy, and skill in making the joints mobile. Innovation with various materials like cardboard, biscuit tins, even banana skin is possible.
 
9. Puppetry is a good communication medium. Messages can be propagated in a realistic way. Countries like Africa are already using puppets for health propaganda. Puppet making and performing is a good occupational therapy for convalescents and physically disabled people. Muscular coordination and manual dexterity improve with effort. Rural advertising is another possibility. However,the best use of this art is that it can provide delightful hours of fun to young and old alike.

i) puppets are cheap and durable
 
ii) it is a good leisure activity
 
iii) it doesn’t require expertise
 
iv) it enjoys a great deal of support
