shadow

At first, I thought the main point of this experiment was to try and prevent your partner from staying in your shadow, so I started out skipping, jumping, and making sudden movements to try keep Ashley out of my shadow. Once I realized that we were trying to do the opposite, I started moving slower. When Ashley and I traded positions (signaled by the tapping of two stones) I found it quite challenging to complete the experiment successfully. If Ashley moved away from the sun, it was hard to predict where she might go next. Since we had to be silent, I started to think about the significance of the assignment. I thought of a quote I had seen stenciled onto a wall in France. Roughly it translates to, "Leave the prey in the shadows." So I started thinking about the idea of weakness and darkness and perhaps a connection between the two. This assignment was pretty much how I expected it to be, but perhaps a bit more challenging.
