Claren directed the premier of Shadow Girls (produced by Pencil Kit Productions with support from Blank Canvas and the Gladstone Hotel, 2018). She acted alongside co-creator Keshia Palm in the workshopped version at the 2017 Rhubarb Festival.

Shadow Girls is a theatrical production scored entirely with overhead projector art. It envelops audience members in transformative, otherworldly images as it details the relationship of Maggie and Amelia: two women whose attempts at an intimate relationship are complicated by a fraught history involving years of separation following an adolescent hook-up-and-break-up.  Saturated with rich imagery and intimate moments, Shadow Girls is a sensuous presentation of a queer love story.
