ShadowLight Productions: Wayang Bali
Balinese Shadow Puppetry is a form of Shadow Theater that goes back thousands of years. Audience members are allowed to sit on either side of the shadow screen!
Shadow Play
We took a tip from the dance company Pilobolus. We just got behind the screen and "messed around!" This is totally improvised. A twist on the classic theater game "mirror."
How to Make a Shadow Puppet
This quarter we played a lot of games to help us memorize our lines one game we played was a memory card game. in the game we had to memorize where the cards were placed by pairs on the table. We also played another game with many objects on a table. first we looked at the objects. Then, we rewrote names of the objects. This game was very fun, it tested our memorization skills with testing our honesty because we cheated
Theatrical gels
Theatrical gels are thin almost clear pieces of plastic, normally with color. Theatrical gels are used to bring color to a puppet in a shadow puppet show. In the Lonley Robot, we used theatrical gels to bring color for our puppett show. In one of the scenes we had a christmas tree. For ornaments, we used the gels as color for ornaments. When it was behind the shadows, it looked great! Roscolux is a very popular theatrical gel company.
