I went to see puppets being made for Shadow puppet theatre.

Wayang Kulit is a unique form of theatre employing light and shadow. The puppets are crafted from buffalo hide and mounted on bamboo sticks. When held up behind a piece of white cloth, with an electric bulb or an oil lamp as the light source, shadows are cast on the screen.

Wayang Kulit plays are invariably based on romantic tales, especially adaptations of the classic Indian epics, "The Mahabarata" and "The Ramayana". Some of the plays are also based on local happenings (current issues) or other local secular stories. It is up to the conductor or "Tok Dalang" to decide his direction.

Puppets don't need to be elaborate to be effective or attractive, as Joe demonstrates with these farm animal puppets that he constructed out of sheets of colored craft foam and mounted onto popsicle sticks.

Huge puppets outside The World of Kids. From a collection of photographs taken at the sell-out 2014 WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance)

festival at CharltonPark near Malmesbury, Wiltshire. 2014 ranks as the best so far for us

this year so these were all taken on a compact (G15/16). See www.WOMAD.co.uk for more informaiton
