Discovering shadow and light

This approach helps to overcome fears linked to darkness; it is based on the coordination of gestures as well as listening to and respecting others.

Technical experimentation with shadow

In this second workshop, the emphasis is on control and concentration. In a playful spirit, the precision of movement and self-mastery are encouraged.

Design and creation of puppets

This third part calls on manual dexterity. The aim is to bring an idea to life in a creative way.

Creation of small group scenes

Here, the essential goal is to lead children to imagine and collaborate in the realisation of a project.

Deepening theatrical work in the service of shadow

The length of this module varies depending on the educational project of the host organisation.
