Shifting shadow

Aim: To be creative with movement types as a leader, and to follow the leader closely in both movements and speed as a shadow. 

Players work in pairs, with a leader and a shadow. Leaders walk around the space, changing their speed and direction whilst also creating different movements for the shadow to follow and keep up with. 

This game uses reactive movements and spatial awareness to encourage leaders to be bold and try new movements and speeds, whilst also encouraging the shadows to stay aware of the leader's actions and keep a good distance between the two players.
