Shadow Puppet Performance Individual

The entire class was seated, dispersed throughout a room with a projection of a city alleyway on one wall of the room. The lights went out and we were enveloped in darkness save for the projection, on which a silhouette of Heather with a chain of cigarettes dangling from her neck could be seen. She then proceeded to approach at random the seated attendees one by one with the simple word, "Hi". 

This for me was a strong piece. It expresses the sincere desire for intimacy and connection amid a sea of anonymous strangers.
