The ancient motion picture medium of shadow puppetry is the focus of this series of 3 workshops, suitable for professionals and beginners. Chinese Theatre Works’ teaching artists will lead participants (working singly or in groups) through the entire process of conceiving, crafting and performing a short overhead projector shadow production. Adults accompanying children must also pay for a ticket.

CTW directors Kuang-Yu Fong and Stephen Kaplin will lead participants through the entire process of creating a short (3-5minute) overhead projector shadow production- conception, design, production and performance. The workshop will focus strongly on the collaborative process of building a strong, cohesive, visual narrative in the short work time period available. The best productions will be featured at CTW’s 5th NYC Shadow Slam on Jan 16th.
