Description
A hands-on exploration of shadow puppetry, projection, and sound looping with the creative ensemble behind Feral.
Using shadow puppets, masks, and found objects, you’ll learn how to work with different light sources, integrate manual shadows with projections, and build multilayered vocal loops. It’s a chance to get up close with the techniques Sandglass Theater used to create Feral, and to try them yourself.
The workshop is led by the Feral performance ensemble, who bring deep experience across puppetry, theater, and dance.
Funded by Vermont Humanities.
