Workshop
While caregivers catch up on holiday shopping, children ages 8-11, can explore their creativity through the magical world of shadow puppetry! This beginner-friendly workshop will guide participants through the history of shadow theatre and its unlimited potential for storytelling.
Our programming team will lead participants through The Rooms to find inspiration in our beautiful galleries, including our festive exhibit: The House of Wooden Santas.
What to Expect:
- We will learn the basics of storytelling
- We will design shadow puppets (all materials are included)
- We will premiere a shadow puppet show for friends and family
- We’ll also enjoy some hot chocolate and a cookie, visit the galleries and take in all the holiday decorations at the Rooms along the way
Cost: $35 plus HST (10% Discount for Rooms Members). Limited spaces! Pre-registration required. To book your child’s space, please contact Visitor Services at (709) 757-8090.
Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
