SHADOW DANCE - coexistence of two art media – contemporary dance and puppetry. SHADOW DANCE method is musical poetry of body movement and dance with the lights. Performance shows coexistence of human body and puppet animation in the world of shadows. The story of the dancing represents life of subordination, searching the way out and finally finding freedom. New method SHADOW DANCE – which we develop – is combining puppet animation and contemporary dance. The base is in movement. We do not use puppets but dancing body. Innovation within shadow dance is DANCING LIGHT. The light is not static – it is dancing with dancer. In this way shadow is dancing on the screen and also you play with audience reality. Animator with the light is like cameraman with filming movie. The light can zoom out or zoom in the shadow – it can move it, make it bigger or smaller. You can decide to play with details. There is a lot of options with which you are creating new reality – shadow dance world. AIM: Main aim is to give the youth tools to built positive and strong image of themself in the society.
