About the event
In this interactive workshop Drew Colby teaches participants how to make four specific hand shadow animals. They will also explore the science of shadows – why do shadows get bigger when they go closer to the light? How small can a shadow be? Small elements of performance are incorporated into the workshop and participants have a chance to ask questions and request specific shadows at the end. A special opportunity to meet and work with the puppeteer, who has truly learnt his craft.
