Watching the shadow puppets

watching the shadow puppets, originally uploaded by Wahj.

When I was in primary school, we made shadow puppets for art class, wayang kulit style. Last week, I had the opportunity to watch a shadow puppet show by some primary school kids, put up as part of a puppetry workshop they were attending.

There was some very creative work on display, all the more impressive because the kids had done everything (script to set to rehearsal to making and moving the puppets) in 3 days flat.
