Me & My Shadow

'Me & My Shadow' is a work in progress and the result of research & development periods supported by DanceXchange & Warwick Arts Centre.

'Me & My Shadow' is an exploration into the understanding of the 'dark side' of our psyche and the feeling of experiencing loneliness when constantly surrounded by others. The shadow (Jung) is the unkown darkside or our personality - whatever we deem evil, inferior or unnacceptable and deny in ourselves stems from loneliness and becomes part of the shadow.
