The WWF has been looking forward to getting Tara to the East Coast to bring her unique mix of talents. In this shadow puppetry workshop, the group will work together to make, build, and rehearse the elements for a shadow play based on a specific text and present it for a small invited audience. (If you have a specific text you’d like to work with, we are open to suggestions from participants.)
Tara Manuel is an actor, singer, writer, and puppeteer. She is a graduate of The National Theatre School of Canada, and worked as an actor in various Theatre, Film, and TV productions in Canada, the US, and Europe before returning to Western NL in 2000. She is the author of three books as well as an original shadow puppetry version of “St. George and the Dragon”, which she continues to tour solo to rural schools all over the province, teaching workshops and well as building and performing the show solo. She’ll reach her 60th school this spring!
Tara has a big pink passion for singing with puppets and to this end, has developed a one-woman, several puppet cabaret called “Big Pussy’s Super Soul Cabaret”.
