Explore the endless possibilities of shadows in this three-hour workshop with Charlotte Lily Gaspard, shadow puppetry artist and director of Midnight Radio Show from New York City.
Shadows are a powerful performance element that can add visual depth and drama to your storytelling practice. We will begin with an overview of shadow puppetry styles, ranging from historical to contemporary approaches, to grasp the basic principles of shadow theater. Participants will have the opportunity to make their own simple paper-and-rod puppet, which we will use to explore incorporating shadow into narrative contexts. You are also welcome to bring a shadow puppet you have already made!
This workshop is especially rewarding for artists who are curious about using shadows in their work and those seeking to expand their understanding of shadow theater, which can include flat paper puppets, mask work, the body silhouette, and more. Bring your questions, curiosity, and a sense of play!
