  • Building American Puppetry on the Jim Henson Foundation
    BUILDING AMERICAN PUPPETRY ON THE JIM HENSON FOUNDATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Joy Reilly, Adviser Dr. Beth Kattelman Adviser Dr. Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner 2008 ABSTRACT Historically the United States, with the exception of ritual performances by indigenous Americans, did not have a distinct puppetry tradition, utilizing instead the imported techniques of its immigrant population. In the twentieth century, puppeteers began to explore puppetry’s capabilities, producing challenging and innovative theatrical work in a distinctly American style. Puppetry was given a stage as popular broadcasting content on the newly invented television. In this media environment, Jim Henson pioneered new techniques, becoming the most famous puppeteer in history. His success enabled him to serve his field as a spokesman and sponsor. In 1982, he established the Jim Henson Foundation, a non-profit organization to support puppetry artists. The Jim Henson Foundation is the only organization in the United States devoted to funding puppet theater and its mission reflects Jim Henson’s commitment to the community of artists who make American puppetry the vivid panorama it has become. Without the Foundation, puppetry in the United States would not be experiencing the explosion of creativity and exposure it currently enjoys. To present a picture of puppetry in the United States and Henson’s work, a brief history of puppetry in America as well as an in-depth scrutiny of Jim Henson’s career is provided.

  • Blackface Puppetry in American Theatre, 1872-1939
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF RACIALISM: BLACKFACE PUPPETRY I N AMERICAN THEATRE, 1872-1939 Benjamin Daniel Fisler, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Franklin J. Hildy Department of Theatre In 1872, a company headed by English theatrical entrepreneur William John Bullock introduced the first full marionette minstrel show to the American stage . Throughout the following sixty -seven years, puppeteers presented a variety of productions featuring ostensibly African or African American characters, including: traditional blackface minstrel shows, adaptations of Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo, numerous “Punch and Judy” plays, and productions of such ostensibly “authentic” portraits of black persons as Eugene O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones and Jo el Chandler Harris’s “Uncle Remus” stories. This investigation employs phenomenology to explore the “essence” of specific blackface puppets, maintaining that none of the objects or plays discussed here are nece ssarily examples of authentic black representation. Rather, this investigation adopts the shifting perspective of phenomenology to show that what some past puppeteers thought were authentic African or African American characters, were, with but a single exception, consistently racialized exaggerations derived from the heritage of minstrelsy. Phenomenology, in its emphasis on the essence of “things,” permits the scholar to investigate both the physical existence of empirically verifiable objects, such as th e puppets that are still in existence long after the deaths of their creators, and the meanings their observers embed them with, such as the character the puppets were imagined to be during their manipulators’ careers. Phenomenology helps explain the inter action between the puppet’s corporeal form and its perceived dramatic meaning, which is often a result of apportioned, or as some critics call it, atomized components, including: object, manipulation, and voice.

It aims to acquaint you with the lovable and unique personality of Tony Sarg, illustrator, cartoonist, and cre- ator of marionettes; and to tell you about puppet shows, a little of their long and varied history and of certain matters connected with modern puppets which have prob- ably awakened your curiosity, if you have been fortunate enough to see the plays acted by Mr. Sarg's artistic and expressive manikins. Tony Sarg himself is responsible for a great deal of the information contained in this book. He has revealed some of the mysteries which make his marionette productions so different from ordinary puppet shows, and has spent hours with the author, telling him how he became inter- ested in marionettes and how he developed the quaint old form of entertainment along the lines of the modern "artistic marionettes," as they are known in Europe, of which his dolls are probably the most charming examples of the , .- present day.
