Come create your own beautiful self-illuminated and articulated plankton shadow puppets, shadow costumes, and other props. Use them in our small shadow theatres, perform on our large illuminated stage, or simply watch the beauty of plankton unfold before you. Learn about the beautiful and wonderful Zoo-plankton and Phyto-plankton, reflecting on the challenges plankton face and what they need from us to flourish.
The microscopic world of plankton greatly affects us as humans. Plankton is the most significant life form on the planet and NASA has confirmed from satellites in space that marine phytoplankton produce at least 50% of the total oxygen we breathe. Human activity is causing the Earth’s oceans to warm and turn acidic, endangering plankton and by extension the entire marine food chain.
