The Ethos behind the creative workshops for schools
‘Look up at the heavens, for all eternity is there to see. What wonder and dreams beyond your wildest imaginings that every child should see!’
We are currently living through great changes to our planet that will eventually affect us all on every level . We live in a time in which as educators and artists we have a responsibility increase awareness for cultural and religious harmony among our young people to make a better world for the future. The aim of the work I do in schools is to increase religious and cultural understanding among children through personal empowerment. Working through shadow and light arts- based activities - children and young people learn to see similarities in other cultures and religions and through that understanding increase the possibility for a genuine peaceful global society in the future...
Whatever your age group, or reason for booking a ‘figure of speech’ workshop I hope you will agree that this is worthy ethos to bring to your school, theatre, community group, or society when you make a booking...

Figure of Speech enables children to explore the “relationship between light, an object and the formation of shadows.”
Figure of Speech Shadow puppet workshops are educational and enable participants to explore creativity in a safe and supportive environment[10].
Please note all workshop formats require some blackout for them to work most effectively.
