Strengthening endurance when performing puppets

[scarylarrywolf]

I've got to the point where my arm doesn't bother me so much anymore. As I've developed my manipulating abilities I've become aware of the many little intricate parts that go into making a character real (keeping it vertical, eye contact, breathing, gestures, moving the head around smoothly, keeping it the same height, keeping my head down, etc.). Now I have so many things to keep on my mind, there isn't room for me to remember how badly my arm aches! So that's an idea of why it may become easier as you develop your puppetry skills.

I like that idea. But what would happen if we didn't keep our hands up?
