Upcoming Events
Nana Projects Shadow Puppet Workshop

Shadow Puppetry uses simple paper cutouts and overhead projectors, to cast
shadows onto a screen that spring to life with depth and movement!
During the Nana Projects Shadow Puppet Workshop participants of all ages
create shadow puppets from start to finish. Based on traditional shadow
puppet techniques
from around the world Nana Projects lead the participants in making
puppets with
moving parts and exploring the shadows they create on the screen.
Nana Projects is a Baltimore based company of visual alchemists creating
parades and puppet shows.The Jim Henson Foundation has awarded Nana
Projects two grants for
their work in Shadow Puppetry. In 2010 the company received the prestigious
Union Internationale de la Marionette-USA Citation of Excellence in
puppetry. Nana Projects workshops encourage participation, engender pride
and teamwork and are designed to be a catalyst of the imagination and
purposeful playing.
