That Shadow's Friend

  • Who Can Direct? Anyone

Designed to be a showcase for interesting shapes, lighting and dancing, this piece focuses around a shadow projection of a boy with little to no dialogue. A dancer girl meets the shadow and through poses and postures they develop a type of friendship. Scenes of handshakes and sword fighting ensue as the girl and the shadow develop a friendship. Then the girl leaves abroad and the shadow leaves his projection wall to search for her. When she comes back, he is gone. The shadow then meets the boy of whom he is the shadow of. He and the boy reunite. Then the boy meets the girl with love at first sight. As they exit the scene, their shadows stay and dance a final dance.
