The aim of this workshop will be to work with children's creativity. During the week we will introduce the children to the joys of starting a project from scratch, there will be an end procedure but it will come from the children themselves. The objective of this workshop will be to produce a shadow puppet show with characters and story developed by the children. There will be a performance after the last day at 1pm on the Friday.

Day 1: We will start with circle drawings. This is a group project and therefore not threatening for children who are shy and good for children who need to learn how to share.

Day 2: From the circle drawing we will encourage the children to develop characters for themselves from their own lives.

Day 3: We will continue the story character development and start making shadow puppets. We will also start the process of story telling.

Day 4: The process of story telling will be continued and we will begin the process of making a stage and the background for the show.
