I was working on my laptop with my back to a window when I saw the reflection of my screen lighting up the wall next to me. When I waved my hand in front of it, I noticed that two shadows appeared: my actual hand and the reflection of my hand in the screen. This was an interesting phenomenon and something that could also be used in a performance space. With a reflective material you could create interesting images using multiple shadows. It would be cool to choreograph the shadows as opposed to the bodies dancing and might be a fun way to collaborate with a lighting designer and set designer in the process.
Nice image. Please make sure to put in the prompt in the title - this week was "Movement". I believe that is what you are commenting on but it is clearer if you put it in the title. That said, shadowplay is amazing and is pure dance as it is pure form. We can play with shadows on the walls in class but not pure shadow play but we should talk more about this :)
