SUMMARY:Holding Light
DESCRIPTION:Illuminating Recovery on the National Stage\n\n\n\n\n“Grounded in real human stories… dance that heals\, inspires\, and breaks down stigma” \n\nFollowing a sold-out première performance at the Royal Ballet and Opera\, Fallen Angels Dance Theatre brings its powerful new production  Holding Light  to  Storyhouse\, Garret Theatre on Thursday 24 September and at Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse on Saturday 18 October. \nAt the heart of Fallen Angels is a powerful mission\, creating extraordinary dance theatre performed by artists with lived experience of addiction and mental health recovery. Their work brings raw\, authentic lived experience to the stage\, breaking down stigma and celebrating personal resilience through striking physical storytelling. \nCrafted over six months of collaboration between the dancers and creative team\, Holding Light explores light as both a dynamic partner on stage and a metaphor for recovery\, hope\, and personal awakening. The evening weaves together three distinct creative perspectives. Acclaimed choreographer Russell Maliphant brings his signature mastery of light and movement\, making illumination an active collaborator with the dancers. International dance artist Alice Godfrey offers a rich\, emotive exploration of body\, space\, and personal transformation\, while sound artist Feri Gyemant frames every movement with an immersive and emotionally charged soundscape. \nAuthentic\, moving\, and uplifting\, Holding Light invites audiences to witness stories that are often unseen\, offering a deeply memorable evening of dance\, hope and healing. \n\n“If we can tell those complex\, challenging stories\, then hopefully the public can understand more about recovery” \nClaire Morris\, Creative & Strategic Director \n\nThe performance is also Audio Described. Would it be possible to add this in at the top under ‘Pay what you can’? \nHolding Light is commissioned and led by Fallen Angels and supported as part of Recoverist Month\, led by Portraits of Recovery. \nThrough exhibitions\, performances and creative events\, Recoverist Month places the arts at the centre of conversations on substance use and recovery. Led by Portraits of Recovery and held every September to mark International Recovery Month\, this annual programme brings artists\, communities and audiences together across venues around the UK\, making a vibrant contribution to the contemporary arts and cultural landscape. \n\nFind out more & book tickets
