The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light.

Joseph Campbell​

The suggested improvisation image-based tasks are focused on the theme of ‘descent and return’ as we mark the end of the year, the nearing Winter Solstice, and the embrace of darkness, before the re-emergence of light again. Mythologically, this is the time of the crone, or old man, of a descent into a cave or underworld, and then the return of light and the maiden. The dominant element is fire.
