are there books about black light performance. A book with tips on how to make the lamps, what kind of lamps, stage materials, clothing of the puppeteers. I know the book "Let there be...black light" are there more. Are there more?

The only book I know about is "Let There Be.. Blacklight". I have done a lot of blacklight puppetry and have actually designed a large light. Hmmmm, maybe I should write a book. But for now you need to have several blacklights. You need to have sufficient lights to cover your stage area. You need to light from the front  as well as above. Your stage curtains need to be mat black, not shiney, and either lined or thick enough to stop any light from showing through. The puppeteers need to be dressed entirely in black. Almost any black will work EXCEPT black denim. The white weave in the fabric will flouresce. Black hoods, which you can either buy at halloween, or make yourself, are an essential part of BL puppetry. Don't forget that all parts of your skin must be covered or it will show up in blacklight.

Blacklight can be an outstanding special effect and it hides a lot of basic puppetry mistakes, BUT there is no substitute for good puppetry. It is fun and exciting to do blacklight but don't do it just to do blacklight. Use blacklight to enhance your performance and do the things you wouldn't normally be able to do in white light.

I think I'll start on that book.

and your glasses how do you do that ? I have one.
First I have to learn more about puppetry. This Autumn we start a new and different children's work in our church. (promise land maybe you know it) And we begin with puppets too, as a part of the kids work. (in all kinds of puppetry) I want to set up the puppetry (exciting an fearful)
What I'm thinking now is to use black light as a part in the performance. For a sample when the puppet  is dreaming in the night.
But for now I want to know how it works, what we need. When we are going to do we need preparation first.
Thanks for your answer. Here in Holland we don't know it so let me be the first one.
And if you write a book or just put it on paper and sell it on your site let me know....

and your glasses how do you do that ? I have one.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this question. 
Using blacklight in a dream sequence is a great way to start. I'll help you in any way that I can.

I have glasses for my eyes. I can imagine that light reflects on glasses too

If you are doing blacklight work gompie you should be wearing a black hood over your head. The black hood has a see through screen (light weight black fabric) on the face.  That should keep your glasses from reflecting.

I never seen it here. And you are a little bit to far away to came and see. I saw the video's on you tube and I love it........

Gompie, if you've ever seen the Japanese puppetry, bunraku, they also use these black hoods. (I also wear glasses, and have used these hoods before. It's a good idea to make the top of the hood stick out a bit in front of your face, because I found that the material was uncomfortably brushing against my face the whole time)

No I haven't but I think I seen something like the hood in films here on tv.

Hi I'm Linda.  I head up my church's Puppet Ministry.  We are starting into black light puppets.  I love to get free patterns and more info on black light puppets.
