Shadow theatre artist and picture book illustrator – Patricia Thoma

Even as a child I was fascinated by shadow theatre, which originated in India and also became popular in Germany in the 18th century.
After the performance of my own shadow theatre “Die zertanzten Schuhe”, based on the Brothers Grimm, the students of grades 1-6 designed their own imaginative figures.
From simple black cardboard arose dragons, princesses and monsters.
Thank you very much for inviting me to your school.
