Henson’s puppetry techniques

Henson's puppetry techniques focus on creating lifelike characters through a combination of artistry, movement, and storytelling. He emphasized the use of hand puppets, marionettes, and creative voice acting, allowing performers to convey emotion and personality. Henson integrated innovative mechanics, like foam rubber puppets that are lightweight and expressive. His work, particularly in "The Muppet Show," highlighted the importance of teamwork among puppeteers, animators, and designers, resulting in a seamless blend of live performance and film. This collaborative approach brought characters to life, engaging audiences with humor, warmth, and relatable narratives.
