In addition to the workshops offered below, Daniel can tailor a workshop to meet an institution’s specific needs.
SHADOW JOURNEYS: EXPLORING
HISTORY THROUGH SHADOW PUPPETRY*
Workshop Leader: Daniel Barash
For Teachers of Grades 4-8
Instruction Time: 3 hours or 6 hours
Maximum number of workshop participants: 30
Shadow puppetry, with its bold shapes, vivid colors, and dramatic movement, is a highly engaging art form that allows students to express their understanding through visual art, drama, and writing.
In this workshop, teachers discover how to create and use shadow puppets to explore the causes and effects of historical events, such as the Underground Railroad. Participants first learn shadow puppetry techniques and discover ways students can use shadow puppetry to synthesize historical events through the writing of mini-scenes.
Participants then experience how students can create puppets and scenery to dramatically bring their mini-scenes to life behind the shadow screen.
*This workshop was designed and presented regularly at the Kennedy Center.
