Spica Wobbe: There you go. Whenever you are ready you can
start.

Again, you have to help your partner. Okay?

I'm from Taiwan, Taipei. Taipei is the capital of Taiwan. As a
puppeteer, I make puppets as well. I build my own puppets. I
perform. If it's my own production, then I have to write the
story. People love puppeteers. Whenever I tell people, people
ask me, “What do you do?” I say, “I'm a puppeteer.” And
everybody’s first reaction, “Oh.”
((NATS/MUSIC))
((Spica Wobbe, Puppeteer))
Puppetry is such a magical art form because it brings things to life
just by moving it. And the reason why it's so magical, it not only
depends on my own imagination but it also depends on audience
imagination because if I am moving these things and then as if
this is moving by itself, but as the audience, I am using my
imagination when I move it because I'm looking at you. I’m
looking at myself, but the trick is the audience, they have to invest
their own imagination. You have to buy it in order to make it
reasonable. Right? Make it real. I think this imagination, the day
when you were born, is in you.

Everybody can imagine, like when you look at the clouds, “Oh, it's
a bird. It's a butterfly.” It’s just a piece of cloud. But everybody
has the imagination, but creatively, people forget about it
because, you know, when you are growing up and people
say, “This is just a pair of glasses, leave it there”, you know, and
for many different reasons. But puppetry really stirs up all your
internal, you know, imagination, creativity. This comes out with
simple movements, simple dialogue, simple music, sound, and
then put it together and right away, audience understands what
you tried to tell them. So, it's fascinating. I'm still learning it. I'm
still discovering new things every day. What can be better than
you do something and people love it and pay you for it. That's the
best. Yeah.
