with David from Puppetmongers. Sunday February 28th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Fee $125
N.B. The two shadow puppetry workshops combined make a full program. The discounted fee for both workshops is $200.
A hands-on exploration of the new world of shadow puppetry techniques: new light sources, such as halogen lamps, overhead projectors, document camera, and other technologies, along with new materials and forms of shadow puppetry, manipulation and staging. We will discover the amazing imagery and special effects possible with this new technology.
