In this tutorial, we would like to present a puppet manipulation exercise used in black light theatre practice. The video demonstrates how a puppet can be animated through coordinated hand movements so that it appears expressive and alive on stage. By carefully controlling gestures, direction, and rhythm, the performer gives personality to the puppet while remaining hidden in the dark environment.
This exercise introduces participants to the core techniques of black light theatre, where performers dressed in black operate in a dark space while illuminated objects or puppets become the focus of the audience’s attention.
