Workshop: An Exploration of Shadow Puppetry
Sunday, October 11, 2026, 12:00pm–1:00pm @ SCT
Age Recommendation: 6+
Puppetry artists Cass Bray & Zane Exactly, Henson Foundation grant-awarded duo of Shadow Girls Cult, will lead participants through a one-hour workshop, using overhead projectors, found materials, and a projection screen to explore the fundamentals of shadow puppetry manipulation and construction.
This workshop will guide participants on how to transform simple materials into unique and bold shadows. Experiment and play with us as we explore different shapes, textures, colors, and characters to breathe life into new stories and ideas.
This is a fun opportunity for children and families looking to try shadow puppetry for the first time. Feed your curiosity and creativity, while learning how to use your body and other materials to create cinematic imagery.
Can’t join us in October? Don’t fret! Shadow Girls Cult will be back for MAROONED! A Space Comedy.
