Overhead Projector Shadow Puppetry Workshop

Overhead Projector Shadow Puppetry Workshop
with Mind of a Snail

Overhead Projector Shadow Puppetry Workshop explores techniques you can achieve with an old-school projector with experts Mind of a Snail.  They will share their approach to devising using this surprisingly versatile piece of equipment. It can be used to create simple stories, complex cinematic pieces, or vibrant analog special effects. This workshop will be part talk and part hands-on exploration.

“Through layered cut-paper projections, puppetry, masks and an original score, Chloé Ziner and Jessica Gabriel create a whimsical live-action storybook that’s mesmerizing. In their hands, craft materials become enterprising earthworms and beating crows wings and starry galaxies and post-apocalyptic cityscapes strewn with garbage. The ingenuity and artistry on display is breathtaking.” -Winnipeg Free Press

Since 2003, Mind of a Snail duo, Chloé Ziner and Jessica Gabriel, have been developing a multi-layered style of visual storytelling using overhead projectors.
