Shadow puppetry is probably the oldest form of puppetry, traceable back to Asia, where the traditions continue and grow. Participants will create simple but wonderfully effective 2-dimensional figures, scenery and props, using readily available materials, to be manipulated behind a lit screen* in visually magical presentations. N.B. Instructions on making a shadow screen box-theatre will be available in a video link.
