Creating a Shadow Puppet performance A school-wide collective project (5 days or longer)

Working with the artist, each class of students brainstorms to develop characters and scenarios, expanding on the storyline from previous groups. As the story unfolds, Marie-France Thibault creates shadow puppets and designs the characters and set, inspired by the students’ ideas. The students then have the opportunity create their own silhouettes, to narrate the story and manipulate the puppets behind the screen-stage of the shadow theatre. The final production is presented to all the participants, highlighting the value of creativity and collaboration.
