Fallen Angels Dance Theatre: Holding Light

“Grounded in real human stories… dance that heals, inspires, and breaks down stigma”Following the sell-out success of Traces Through Time, Fallen Angels Dance Theatre presents a deeply moving and transformative new evening of dance, Holding Light.At 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.Crafted 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.“If we can tell those complex, challenging stories, then hopefully the public can understand more about recovery”Claire Morris, Creative & Strategic DirectorAuthentic, moving, and uplifting, Holding Light invites audiences to witness stories that are often unseen, offering a deeply memorable evening of dance, hope and healing.
