a duet exploring both the visual and the metaphorical aspects of our shadow.
a shadow is something unpredictable, a missing piece of the story that can give a new perspective, a different narrative. it is the same, but not the same. it can be a companion, an imprint or a distortion. it can give shelter or add dimension. we explore the experience of being watched over, followed by an unpredictable layer of ourselves with a shifting form and the ability to disappear. each movement supported and witnessed. we wish to give the performance a sense of intimacy and conversation, exploring loneliness and togetherness, the individual and the companion.
