Shadow puppetry, is an ancient form of storytelling, using flat shapes and figures participants were able to create beautiful imagery using only a source of light and a translucent screen.

Rae gave a brief history as well as some examples of contemporary shadow puppeteers.

It was an enjoyable occasion as a room full of puppeteers brought their work to life.
