“Our future is not an outcome, but part of a process within universal unfolding – a process of becoming what we were not before.” (Morley)

In our last rehearsal we started to play with using projections as a lighting source, and where the projector might live to create the most interesting effect. We were getting multi-layered worlds where you could watch the dancer, the projection on the dancer, the projection itself, and the shadow of the dancer on the projection. Later that day I picked up a book that I’ve been meaning to read for a while, Becoming Animal by David Abram, and the whole first part of the book was about shadows.
Mikey Rioux
“The actual shadow does not reside primarily on the ground; it is a voluminous being of thickness and depth, a mostly unseen presence that dwells in the air between my body and that ground.”
“Shadows are qualitative attributes of the bodies that secrete them.”
