Grimm and Co events to bring stories to life
'Shadows of the Past' will see guests step into the archives at the Ship Hill HQ
Ahoy there, ship mates!
Grimm and Co is holding a programme of events with some real light and shade...
'Shadows of the Past - Bringing stories to life through shadow puppetry' will see guests
step into the archives at the Ship Hill HQ, uncover stories and bring them to life through shadow puppetry and storytelling.
The programme of events, for young people aged 11-18, will kick off on Wednesday, September 16 from 4.30pm-6pm.
A spokesperson for Grimm and Co said: “Step inside and become a story-keeper of the building's hidden history.
“Across six magical sessions, you'll uncover real archive treasures - old photographs, a newspaper from 1910, and more.
“Learn techniques in paper cutting, story boarding and design moving shadow puppets - then breathe new life into them using shadows, light and your own imagination.
“Then, you will share your ideas with a professional artist to turn your work into a brand new art installation.
“No writing experience or craft skills needed, just curiosity and a willingness to listen to stories hiding in the dark.”
They added: “It would be preferred if participants were available for all six sessions, but we know how life is, so just get in touch if you'd like to discuss.”
