An update about what we are working on in class

During the winter semester the students in the Friday class began an exploration of expression through shadows. We watched shadow plays and practised making hand shadows. The students then chose their characters, we made up a story and made most puppets necessary for the story together in class.  This explorational work, which has been percieved as quite challenging for the students, is now culminating in a short shadow play on February 15. It will be in the 
Carnegie Library at 1.50pm. All are welcome!
