With by David Powell of Puppetmongers
in-person in Toronto – 5 evenings: Monday March 17th through to Friday March 21st, 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Fee: $375 (materials included)
This workshop will immerse you in shadow puppetry: in the living traditions and contemporary methods and technology. It will be hands-on, focusing on shadow in theatrical work as fabricated actors (puppets), as powerful images, and for kinetic set design. Participants will design and build shadow puppets, explore animation techniques and light sources, and work together to develop a short piece.
As a co-founder of Puppetmongers Theatre in 1974, with his sister Ann, David has toured world-wide, and received many awards in Canada and the USA. He co-founded the Toronto School of Puppetry in 1996, for adult enrichment, and has taught puppetry arts at many universities, colleges and schools across Canada.
