Day Three of the Third Out The shadow training in Taranta

Day 3 of the training “Out the Shadow: Improvisation in Black Light Theatre” focused on movement, trust and creative exploration. The morning began with embodying animals and letting their interactions guide exercises on connection and trust, including “follow the hand,” trust falls and blind walks, followed by a brief reflection.

Participants then discussed the idea of power in youth work and created short performances expressing their perspectives.

In the afternoon, during a Body Theatre session led by the trainers, the group explored balance, presence and support through movement. They practised “puppet” exercises, created paper monster puppets and developed short scenes based on their characters. The day ended with short solo performances themed around nature and solitude, and later an intercultural evening with shared snacks, music and dances.
