The Courtyard Institute invites all children (approx. 7 – 11 years of age) to join our second “Shadow Puppetry Workshop”.
The workshop starts at 16:00 with a short introduction into shadow puppet performance. Under the guidance of our staff the participants work with paper, scissors, colors, decoration materials and their imaginations, to create their own puppets and scenery. The participants are divided into small performance groups of 2-4 and get to rehearse their story together. After dinner the performances begin. A magical transformation of the children’s work takes place in front of the screen. Narration, movement and music let the children’s imagination in the form of their cutouts come to life.
The Children will learn how to make shadow puppets and explore their imagination. Shadow puppetry is introduced to the children in an accessible and fun way, creating a unique learning experience. Through this workshop we hope to develop the following abilities for the children:
– DIY (to create their own shadow puppets)
– Team work (coordinate with team members and instructor)
– Communication (performing with their own words and phrases during the puppet show)
– Imagination (to make up stories with their puppets)
