The Austrian philosopher and writer Rudolf Steiner was one of the most original thinkers of the twentieth century. His writings cover a wide range of subjects, and he made valuable and influential contributions in many fields, including education, science, medicine, and social reform.

At the base of the puppeteer’s oral presentation, however, are written texts while at the base of ethnographies are spoken words. This text examines the social construction of puppeteers at a short-lived puppetry school, as the young puppeteers learn how to t
