A dance piece by Andressa Miyazato in collaboration with BA students from the IDA – Institute of Dance Arts.
With reverberations, collapses, waves, threats, disappearances, and fierce shared moments, Shadows offers a physical reflection on the relationship between dance and the environment. Rather than interpreting shadows as the hidden or undesirable parts of the self, we approached them as traces of presence — as evidence of light. We used light and shadow as a creative methodology: photographing our bodies’ shadows as they merged with different environments, we explored how movement could be shaped by absence, contour, and reflection. In this way, shadows became a choreographic score — revealing a dynamic, creative zone in constant unfolding and interdependence.
