ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Red Poppy Art House has partnered up with Shadow Light Productions for a Live shadow play performance by ShadowLight artists for children and families followed by hands-on workshop. With instruction and guidance by ShadowLight teaching artists, attendees will be given the opportunity to make a shadow puppet, learn performance techniques, and use our screen and lights to perform their own short plays. This event is appropriate for children ages 3 to 12.

This FREE event creates an opportunity for youth in our neighborhood (Mission), who may otherwise not be able to attend such an event for lack of funds, to have access to art education with high caliber teaching artists. By providing an opportunity to watch, interact and play, we are encouraging participation and engagement with a vital storytelling art form. Storytelling is an important skill; it helps us to understand ourselves and one another, encouraging empathy.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

ShadowLight Productions. ShadowLight was founded in 1972 by filmmaker/theatre director/shadow artist Larry Reed. We have served San Francisco as a non profit theater company for nearly 30 years.

The mission of ShadowLight Productions is to expose the general public to the art of Shadow Theater. The means of providing such exposure includes but is not limited to live theater, film and other media. We strive to preserve indigenous shadow theater traditions, and to explore and expand the possibilities of the shadow theater medium by creating innovative interdisciplinary, multicultural works.
