For me, theatre is joy, imagination, energy, renewal, fun, bonding, and play. It is a big tent creative art, that can involve performance, craft, construction, lighting, sound, organisation, costumes and more. And most importantly, theatre fosters relationship building, problem solving and the celebration that comes from creating performances together.
Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
This year, 2024-25, I would like to focus on Shadow Puppetry based Workshops. This may involve, but is not limited to:- Creating shadow puppets from paper and card stock
- Manipulating shadow puppets using rods, simple joints, mechanisms and lights.
- Creating shadow puppetry stories in groups
- Performing shadow puppetry shows to peers
In past years, my workshops were oriented towards creating paper bird puppets, creating paper creature puppets and hand puppetry in general. I am more than happy to revisit those workshops as well if desired.
