The Shadow Theatre is a powerful tool of attraction, stimulation, and creative training, which supports the development of collective imagination.
Children Training
The workshop has as main objective to approach the shadow theatre to children, encouraging the development of manual skills as well as the body language and artistic expression of the participants.
There are some other objectives which are addressed in a more specific way, such as:
– To experiment and play with the different elements which take part of the shadow theatre: light, screen, objects, bodies, colours, shapes…
– To encourage the team work, learning how to share ideas and how to generate a new ones from those ones, working as a group.
