Performing:
When You Light A Candle... at Chester Cathedral back in March 2023.
This is our first regional tour, thanks to generous funding from
ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND, DANCE CONSORTIA NORTH WEST and other sources.
When You Light A Candle, You Also Cast A Shadow is a celebration of nature and our climate, it is also a warning about the precarious state of our beautiful planet and habitat.
The piece is performed by our trio of dancers - Lauren Tucker, Paige Lyon, & Daisy Belle Howell, with Jess Bennett joining us on our Arts Centre EHU date - with music performed live by the specially assembled Candle String Quintet who are drawn from the best orchestras in the North West (including The Hallé, BBC Symphony Orchestra & Manchester Camerata) with the help of 'fixer' & cellist Lucy Arch.
The piece crucially also features a specially commissioned poetry cycle by the Costa Award winning writer (and our very good friend and fairly frequent collaborator!) Mary Talbot.
Below are some shots (as ever by photographer BRIAN HICKEY) from our short dance R&D period which took place at the end of September 2020, on what was probably the last bluest blue sky day of the year, with LAUREN TUCKER, PAIGE LYON,& DAISY BELLE HOWELL, our dancers for WHEN YOU LIGHT A CANDLE, YOU ALSO CAST A SHADOW.
With love,
Bettina & Gary
