For parents looking for school holiday ideas, or for anyone interested in learning more about Indonesian people and cultural traditions. Content suitable for school-age children from Foundation to Years 4, but all ages welcome including adults.

Hosted by expert educators, your kids will be immersed in the ancient Indonesian artform of shadow puppetry. Whilst weaving Indonesian music and language throughout the entire session, the program will lead students through all elements of wayang kulit performances, introducing them to some popular common wayang characters along the way and exploring how the artform has changed over time. Knowing that play is sometimes the best way to learn, we set your students up to learn how to make and move the shadow puppets and then offer a suite of post-session resources for your class to create a performance unique to themselves.

During this virtual learning session your students will:

learn the different elements that make up wayang kulit performance
be shown demonstrations on how to move the puppets
gain access to post-webinar resources supporting students to create a story, its characters and the stage
