Event
Create a Shadow Puppet Scene
This workshop and presentation is completed entirely online over the course of 6 weeks from January 7th - February 12. The first group orientation is on Thursday, January 7th at 7pm. The weekly schedule following that will be set up to fit your schedule. Ages 13 to 103.
With individual and group online guidance from puppeteer Devon Ludlow, you will build and develop shadow puppet characters for a scene within a larger story (the story will be decided on by the participants, but examples could include: Alice in Wonderland, Christmas Carol, 1001 Nights, or other well known long form serial stories). You will be assigned a scene within the story manageable even if you are new to the techniques and with lots of room for imaginative play. You will learn how to make basic jointed shadow puppets, work with light and projection for the puppets and film, and share these shadow puppets using the camera from your smartphones or laptops. Mr. Ludlow will help you not only with the puppetry aspects, but also filming, live streaming, sound design, transitions, and whatever individual support you need.
You have the option of registering with or without the supply kit. Partial scholarships are available by request at info@surelsplace.org.
