Curious about the mysterious art of shadow puppetry? 

In this two-hour workshop, participants will learn about the history of shadow puppetry and how to fabricate shadow puppets. After creating and assembling their puppet, participants will explore various puppetry manipulation techniques (level of complexity depends on participant’s age). Finally, students will learn various dramatic effects that can be achieved by moving both the puppets and the light source, and the workshop will end with a short performance. 

This workshop is designed for ages 12 years to adult.
