Thus, the 'What I want to do in Semana Santa' poster we made today.
Item 1: Shadow puppets!
We did our first funtastic Semana Santa thing today: shadow puppets! Never really done these before but was inspired some time ago by a scene from he TV show Community, which I cannot seem to find online anywhere :(A quick search of Google on 'How to make shadow puppets' gave us this video
http://puppetry-arts.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-shadow-puppets-4495/
which provided some very handy tips. Then we improvised with what we had around the house, finally using newspaper pasted together into layers, for added thickness, to create the bodies and bamboo skewers we've had in the kitchen for about 100 years as the sticks. A baby blanket I can't bear to throw away even though no one uses it anymore was our screen.
After a looong time cutting and a very short time rehearsing, Lili and I did the show below for Oliver.
Note: Hidden in our iPad is take 1 of this little show, which ends abruptly when one of the puppeteers burns herself on the lightbulb.

I am around all Semana Santa, and I am well up for some Matt and Lily time.
When do you want me to intervene in the murder-suicides?
