'Children love to play with shadows. They are mysterious and magical and can do amazing things.
'But making friends with your shadow can be a tricky business. There are things to sort out, negotiations to be made, frustrations to be overcome, problems to solve, adventures to be had and laughter to be shared.
'Me and My Shadow is presented in the form of a visual poem for children. The show tells its story using the languages of paper, light, shadow, colour, water, music, sound and words. With fantastical imagery, quirky physical performances and an intriguing score, Me and My Shadow, seeks to ignite the imaginations of 4-8 year olds in a poetical experience that explores the frustrations and joys of friendship.'
