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!
All ages 8 and up, maximum 15 people.
Materials supplied.
At least one parent/carer must attend per child/ren booking.
