When You Light A Candle, You Also Cast A Shadow
Hybrid dance theatre with live music
by Company Carpi
Created by choreographer Bettina Carpi and composer Gary Lloyd
Featuring a specially commissioned poetry cycle
by Costa Award winning writer Mary Talbot
Inspired by natural forces, the work is as much a celebration of nature and its resilience as it is a call to awareness about the dangerous state of our climate, our habitat and our planet.
The title of the piece is inspired by a quote from the novel
A Wizard Of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
When You Light a Candle... is the first commission of its kind,
and was created in partnership with:
Dance Consortia North West
Lancaster Arts & Culture Warrington
With generous additional support from:
Arts Council England, Swiss Cultural Fund UK, Cheshire Dance The Arts Centre Edge Hill University
First performances:
Peter Scott Gallery, Lancaster Arts : 4th November 2021
