We explore and promote the use of shadows as a vehicle for expression in the theater, on video, on the internet and in the classroom. ShadowLight activities range from intimate traveling shows to large scale extravaganzas, from traditional and original productions to design projects, workshops and lectures. It is funded by foundation grants, corporate and individual contributions. To find out more about ShadowLight or to become a sponsor please sign our guest book . We offer Wayang Bali performances in your home or community center, as well as original film and performance videos as part of our continual fund raising efforts.
Contributions are tax-deductable.
We are part of a world wide resurgence of interest in shadow theater, ranging from myriad traditional forms to wild experiments and exciting new dimensions. Shadows can serve as a bridge between visible and invisible worlds. They have an archetypal power unlike any other form of expression. To work with shadows is to join a lineage that goes back to unknown, pre-literate times. Shadow theaters have grown out of shamanic mysteries to become primordial movies dealing with dreams, myths, legends, and satire.
