PEOPLE'S VOICES
From Vol.1
"The storytelling was wonderful and the variety of stagecraft exceeded my expectations."
"I was so moved to see two shadow puppet companies in one event. It was my first time seeing shadow art up close — the colours and everything were just beautiful."
"It was great to see the shadow puppet display beforehand. Watching the actual performance, I could understand how the figures were moved to create the images, which made it even more enjoyable."
"I also took part in the workshop and had a wonderful time."
From Vol.2
"It was wonderful to discover just how many different ways shadow art can be expressed."
"My son was completely drawn into the world of shadow art through the collaborative show and the exhibition. We both had a fantastic time."
"The blending of old and new in shadow art was beautiful. And the moments of humour sprinkled throughout were a real highlight."
