In the busy and creative 7th grade Drama classes this winter, students are becoming shadow puppeteers! Using Chinese myths from their Mandarin course and building upon their Visual Art skills, they are scriptwriting their own shadow puppet plays, designing the puppets and scene designs, and preparing to perform their own creative plays in class this winter. This tricky performance art method has been around for centuries, beginning in Indonesia and catching on throughout the world over the years.
Our 3rd floor cafeteria has been transformed into a shadow puppet theatre, but if you want to check out professional samples as well, head to YouTube and search for "Shadow Puppets". There are some links on this post that you can view as well.Shadow Puppet play from Puerto Rico
