Sessions: 10am, 12.30pm, 3pm

This is an accumulative workshop that will lead up to an interactive installation and performance, where participants get to play and build elements that would contribute to a bigger environment – a mountain forest.

The workshop encourages the use of imagination by activating the senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. Providing visual, aural, textural, and other stimuli in every session, and providing simple provocations, the workshop motivates participants to imagine what it is like to be an element of a forest.

Created by Anino Shadow Play Collective (Phillipines)

TRIGGER WARNING:  please note that this workshop contains the use of lights and sound.

Who are Anino Shadowplay Collective

The Anino Shadowplay Collective, formed in 1996, is a group of multimedia artists committed to popularizing the art of shadowplay. Its members come from diverse backgrounds; educators, cultural workers, visual artists, musicians and theatre practitioners are amongst its core members.

The heart of Anino’s narratives lies in Philippine traditional art and literature, political history and contemporary culture. Its aesthetic, like Philippine culture itself, borrows from a wide canvas, taking influence from Filipiniana to universal pop imagery and “international” experimental art. Questions of Filipino identity are dealt with through projected images and hybrid theatrical styles.
