Shadow Puppetry

About Shadow Puppetry

Hastings-based Julia brings the magic of shadow puppetry to seniors across East Sussex, offering engaging, hands-on workshops for care homes, day centres and sheltered accommodation. Participants create and animate their own 2D and 3D characters, exploring silhouettes and storytelling in a fun, accessible way. Sessions are consistently met with enthusiastic feedback, sparking creativity, connection and joyful reminiscence. Julia’s inclusive, person-centred approach treats residents as individuals, using puppetry as a simple yet powerful tool for expression, communication and enjoyment at any age.
