Dive into the magical world of shadow puppetry with Daniel Barash of Firelight Shadow Theater. This interactive program begins by digging into the art of shadow puppetry—exploring how light, shadow, and simple materials connect to STEM/STEAM learning. Daniel then brings best-loved stories about unearthed discovery to life on the shadow screen. Audience members are encouraged to participate throughout the performance, with volunteers invited up to the screen to help animate the shows themselves. Plus, all attendees receive a link to shadow puppet templates so the storytelling adventure can continue at home. See you in the land of unearthed shadows!
