Shadow Play, dives into a Saturn Return, dark night of the soul, Ashley finds that the only way out is through, failing forward towards an embodied self. Shadow play is a journey through the dark and light of the human experience, traversing the peaks and valleys of self identity and existential angst, through the spiral of what ifs to come back into what is. This piece holds a container for the audience to meet their own fragmented parts of themselves, and extends an invitation to heal through play.
