An update from Kirstine on her Toronto Arts Council – Platform A Micro-grant:
“My project is focused on developing shadowpuppetry skills and techniques to use in performance as well as in the context of arts facilitation. I have led workshops at Alpha Alternative and Jumblies Studio, and have encouraged and explores the use of three dimensional found organic materials from our landscape – the lakeshore – to create puppets, in addition to the use of the more typical two dimensional paper cut method of shadow puppetry. I am looking forward to bringing together the puppets and storylines created in the workshops for an interactive exhibition at the A Show.”
