So i've decided to focus on the fairy tale theme that most shadow puppet performances take, ill draw aspects from the listed buildings of Birmingham for the scenes..
Cathedral/ Margaret St - castle like structures would fit in nicely
Town Hall- myth style
I now need to take some photographs of my own of the buildings i feel would work..i can then draw up the shiloettes and experiment with composition etc
Could include the bull and other aspects of the city..
This has reminded me of one of my previous pieces..creating a shiloette backdrop from paper..themed on nursery rhymes and similar to the fairytale style id like to create.
I also need to think about what the shadows will be printed onto..a prepared screen? walls? etc and how they will be fixed in front of the lights..suspended/ held in place or fixed to a frame?
So the sooner i finish the puppets and begin experimenting the better..in order to overcome any issues that occur in plenty of time.
