Daniel Barash-Shadow Puppetry and Social Emotional Learning:
How Shadow Puppetry Can Enhance Student Understanding of SEL’s Core Competencies and Strategies Shadow puppetry, with its bold shapes, vivid colors, and dramatic movement, is a highly engaging art form that naturally helps students feel safe when learning how to identify emotions and explore healthy SEL tools. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn shadow puppetry performance techniques that help students explore and empathize with the emotional life of both characters in literature and the students themselves. See you in the land of shadows! As a consultant with Focus 5, Inc., a national leader in the field of arts integration, and a Kennedy Center Teaching Artist, Daniel has been helping teachers learn the art form of shadow puppetry for over 20 years. Participants will make a shadow puppet stage and puppets to take with them. |

We will learn through conversation, hands-on artmaking, and engagement with picture books that there is power in identifying our emotions and processing experiences together.
