Shoe Box Shadow Puppetry

Shoe Box Shadow Puppetry are sustainable drama workshop project for children aged 9-11. Children will learn drama skills, how to make shadow puppetry, and will create stories with messaging around sustainability.

 Through a mixture of crafts and physical drama games, children will learn how to creative narrative stories, how to create their own shadow puppetry boxes with household items and will learn valuable everyday skills in an engaging and fun way.

The Programme will take place Saturdays in February at Court Hey Park, Incredible Edible, Knowsley - 2 - 4pm.

ArtsGroupie has used shadow puppetry throughout our theatre work to date, to express everything from a storm at sea to a fairy tale in Medieval Europe. We will experiment and introduce children to this captivating and imaginative form of expression.

“Taking part in a participatory arts project can help young people develop self-confidence, empathy and social skills”.

Margaret Connell, Artistic Director.

Our 4-week course will culminate in a short performance/demonstration for friends and family.
