puppetry
Puppetry is a form of theatre or performance that involves the manipulation of puppets. It is very ancient, and is believed to have originated 3000 years BC.〔 Puppetry takes many forms but they all share the process of animating inanimate performing objects. Puppetry is used in almost all human societies both as entertainment – in performance – and ceremonially in rituals and celebrations such as carnivals.〔''Strings, Hands, Shadows: A Modern Puppet History''/John Bell/Detroit Institute of Art/2000 ISBN 0-89558-156-6〕
Most puppetry involves storytelling.
==History==
Puppetry is a very ancient art form, thought to have originated about 3000 years ago.〔Blumenthal, Eileen, ''Puppetry and Puppets'', Thames & Hudson, 2005. ISBN 978-0-500-51226-5〕 Puppets have been used since the earliest times to animate and communicate the ideas and needs of human societies.〔Dugan , E.A., ''Emotions in Motion''.〕 Some historians claim that they pre-date actors in theatre. There is evidence that they were used in Egypt as early as 2000 BC when string-operated figures of wood were manipulated to perform the action of kneading bread. Wire controlled, articulated puppets made of clay and ivory have also been found in Egyptian tombs. Hieroglyphs also describe "walking statues" being used in Ancient Egyptian religious dramas.〔 Puppetry was practiced in Ancient Greece and the oldest written records of puppetry can be found in the works of Herodotus and Xenophon, dating from the 5th century BC.〔Herodotus, The Histories, 2.48, (on Perseus )〕〔Xenophon, Symposium, 4.55, (on Perseus )〕〔Logan, David, ''Puppetry'', p.7〕
