Edinburgh, 60 Spylaw Rd, Edinburgh EH10 5BR, UK

About the event

Inspired by Steiner Waldorf Pedagogy and cutting-edge educational  approaches, our aim is to ignite a sense of wonder and imagination  while simultaneously reducing the need for screen time.


Hands-on  activities such as crafting shadow puppets, rhythmically  rolling of  moving panoramas, or creating shadowscapes will enhance  participants’ practical filmmaking skills, visual thinking, and spatial  awareness.  Providing children with these manual multimedia will create  learning  opportunities through unique visual experiences during fun  and immersive  activities.


Playing in the darkness, becoming shadow actors,  creating visual  storytelling using movement, music and sounds, will help  children to  develop the feel for and deep understanding of Light,  Shadow, Color,  Movement and Texture of moving images. They will learn  many practical  filmmaking skills like cinematography, editing,  screenwriting,  directing, visual effects, as well as set and sound  design, and  principles of animation.


The group's size is max. 12 children
