About this Event

The session opens with a short re-telling of a favourite fairytale using shadow puppets on a shadow screen. Participants are invited to design & make their own fairytale characters using card & create their story. You will have the opportunity to rehearsal your story on a shadow screen before sharing your performance with the group.

The workshop is inspired by The Royal Opera's Family Folk Opera Wolf, Witch, Giant, Fairy which will be screened at Maltings Berwick and other venues around Northumberland during October Half term.
