Shades of Nature: Shadow Theatre Workshop
Using paper cut-out creatures, drawings and plants harvested from the library garden, create your own shadow scene that you can enter and explore! Artists and gardeners from Edible East (Jennie Pedley and Tara Sampy) and storyteller Jonathan Lambert will help you compose and pose in your own immersive silhouette projections. Bring to life the inhabitants of an edible forest garden and record images and video on your phone to take home. What shapes will you make, and what stories will you tell?
This workshop includes a tour of the community garden and a chance to learn about the plants and food growing there, as well as the opportunity to harvest some! You’ll then step inside the library to learn shadow puppetry techniques, and use the included art materials to make more characters and objects for your silhouette scene. You can then record a still freezeframe or a moving scene to look back on.
Programmed as part of the national Rekindle Libraries project funded by Arts Council England.
