There are 5 types of anthropomorphism:
-shaman: humans wanting to embody animals, gain attributes of the animal
-symbolism: people using/wearing symbols of who they are
-embodies: actor becomes the animals e.g. pantomime horse
-referential: refer to animal or object to try and convey
-metaphor: the animal conveys how the human may come across within the play
What is the difference between anthropomorphic costume and puppet?
A costume may be in one of the categories above and the person is that animal or the costume 'consumes' the person but a puppet may also be part of a costume however when the person is external to the 'costume/puppet' then this is more puppetry than anthropomorphic for example war horse is a puppet because the manipulators are separate to the horse.
