Mobile Shadow Projection Theater
Mobile Shadow Projection Theater is a series of urban projection performances.
Andrea Steudel has collaborated with numerous artists to assemble and deploy a portable projection system tailored for shadow puppetry and live-drawing. Critical to this venture is custom performance software created by Ali Momeni. It is deployed ubiquitously in the public sphere; on city structures and landscape.

Weisman performance rough out
Animation alternates between frantic surges and stillness,
intensity of a rattling noise corresponds,
as performer punches through wall, then introverts
projected charcoal residue remains
The culmination of the Mobile Shadow Projection Theater includes the performance of Triquetra,, a work with theater artist David Steinman and local musician John Keston at the Weisman Art Museum, as well as video documentation of other urban performances over the course of the fellowship.
