Puppeteer
Type-Two Persona: Artist, Kinesthete
Favourite play activities include:
- Puppetry Dance Large-canvas painting Sculpture Collage
A Puppeteer is a Type-Two Play Persona, combining Artist and Kinesthete. A Puppeteer enjoys creating using their body and their own movement. They may enjoy physical art, dance, as well as sculpture and (of course) puppets. For a Puppeteer, movement is about commenting on the world, and, vice versa, understanding the world is about how we move through it. If you find it tough to understand what a Puppeteer is trying to say, have a go at putting yourself physically into the space they create - see the world from their perspective, and in their shoes.
Combines traits of basic, type-one personas:
Artist
Type-One Persona: Artist
Favourite play activities include:
- Colouring-in Drawing Doodling Visiting galleries Watching nature Choosing colours for painting rooms / wallpaper / furniture
An Artist is one of the basic, single-type Play Personas. He or she loves to observe or create beauty in the world. An artist derives pleasure from creating – whether that’s building a structure from just the right selection of Lego, or life-drawing in charcoal. If you’re an artist, you might also enjoy going to galleries, listening to music, or watching a gorgeous sunset.
Kinesthete
Type-One Persona: Kinesthete
Favourite play activities include:
- Trampolining Running Tumbling Yoga
A Kinesthete is a basic, Type-One Play Persona. A kinesthete loves to move. Never happier than when their attention is on their body, they enjoy any physical activity that gets the blood pumping. Kinesthetes may enjoy sports for the experience more than the competition - and simply want to take movement to its furthest possible extent.
