an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object

Group B
The group utilized the sheet by folding it so the folds effectively created the outline of an umbrella, then took turns walking up to the screen and having their shadows take shape and “hold” the umbrella. The repetitive act of walking forward, stating the weather, and walking away created an almost hypnotizing experience that we were quickly drawn out of with the splash of water.

Group C
By creating screens that touched the ground and went up well over their heads they created a cinematic experience. The use of different sounds added some humor and at times made it seem surreal because the sound was not what you’d normally match the visual with (I think there’s a word for that at this moment escapes me).

Group D
The idea of being fed by light made me think of exactly what a shadow is- without the light it cannot survive and I found it really interesting how this aspect of shadows was used. By using different angles and a moving light I felt as though I was at a play, this was heightened by their choice to not use a sheet or screen.
