Ready for the Stage: Shadow Theater

During summer vacation, the Idar-Oberstein City Youth Welfare Office is inviting children ages 7 to 10 to an exciting shadow puppet theater workshop as part of the “Wohin mit den Ferien” program.

It will take place from Wednesday, July 29, through Friday, July 31, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day at the “Auf der Bein” Elementary School in the Weierbach neighborhood. Under the guidance of elementary school teacher Kerstin Kornetzky and actress Kathy Becker, the young participants will immerse themselves in the fascinating world of shadow puppetry and its magical possibilities.

Over the course of three mornings during the school break, the children can experiment with light and shadow on stage. They invent their own stories, and there are no limits to their imagination when it comes to bringing them to life: acting or dancing, playing with props, projections, and objects, and then staging stories using all these shadows and effects.

  • You can register via the online portal https://idar-oberstein.ferienprogramm-online.de, course number 79. The course fee is 60 euros.
