four of which were projected onto the NIA, and one onto
a water screen on the nearby canal. Five 5000 ansi lumens
projectors were used. Linford Christie kicked-off Shadow

internationally to fifty countries worldwide. Shadow
Games was made possible with funding from Advantage
West Midlands and ERDF. The Renn & Thacker Partnership
