Profiles

 

Chinese shadow puppetry continues on today because of a special group of dedicated artists who are passionate about its survival against all odds.  I've had the great honor to meet many of the working artists in the form today and would love for you to meet them too.  



Profiled here are an assortment of master performers, troupes, master cutters, painters, scholars and enthusiasts.  This list is by no means exhaustive, but includes the very best.



Enjoy!
