Join us over the summer school holidays for a creative workshop in which you will create and perform with shadow puppets.

Join Sam and Melinda Bowker for a collaborative concert inspired by the collections of the Chau Chak Wing Museum.

In this hands-on creative workshop, we will design, draw, and create a shadow puppet so we can perform an original story together with live music and a vibrant Egyptian shadow puppet screen.

Workshops include materials, guidance, and a unique performance – and yes, you can take your shadow puppet home!
