Before anybody cuts anything, put a hand in front of the lamp and walk it towards the wall. It grows. That one move teaches the whole thing — close to the light is huge and soft, close to the wall is small and sharp — and after it, children aim their puppets instead of just holding them up.
Try this
—Cut the outline bolder than feels necessary. Detail inside the shape disappears entirely.
—A hinge of tape at the jaw, and the wolf can talk.
—Turn every other light off. Half-lit, it is a craft table; dark, it is a theatre.
