The lion consists of two people. The front person mans the head of the lion and the back person is the tail. The person controlling the head of the lion controls the facial expressions and mannerisms of the lion head. This is created by blink the eyes, moving the ears, flapping the mouth, changing the angles of the head and moving the waist and feet. In the traditional lion dance, the footwork of the performer ie stancework and kicks will represent the style of the Kung Fu school. The rear person controls the tail. The tail is used not only to bring life to the back of the lion by flapping the arms, the tail also lifts the front person (head) to perform acrobatic tricks. The head and tail of the lion work in unison to give the puppet life making the lion portray a real animal. A lion head and tail puppet typically weighs around 7 kilograms and the shell of the lion is made from cane, paper mache, wire, cloth and string.
