We look forward to making our own shadow puppets in future lessons. Thank you to all the parents and friends who helped us on this special day.
P students experienced how light and sound is used in Chinese art and culture. Highlights included a shadow puppet show, Chinese acrobatics displays and a dark tunnel.
The stage for shadow puppet is a white cloth screen on which the shadows of flat puppets are projected. Shadow puppet looks similar to paper-cut except that their joints are connected by thread so that they can be operated freely.

Shadow puppetry wins the heart of an audience by its lingering music, exquisite sculpture, brisk color and lively performance.
