Shadowplay uses all my skills, and the creativity of a community, to produce a beautiful co-creative artform that delights us all
SHADOW DANCE
The shadow screen started in 2006 as a tool for Larissa to use in her performances, and she quickly realised that it had a wider role to play!
Recently contacted by local homeschool parents, as well as community groups and festivals, Larissa is passionate about using all her video, performance and teaching skills to facilitate an INTERACTIVE SCREEN with children and adults alike.
"I delight in facilitating people's expression, watching them shine."
