An evening of exquisite dance and live music from Janis Claxton Dance and the internationally acclaimed Edinburgh Quartet.
Falling Light is a triple bill of emotionally compelling and musically defined dance, including Claxton’s highly acclaimed Rinne, set to a riveting composition by Australian ensemble Waratah, and two sublime new pieces set to works by Bach and Polish composer Henryk Gorecki.
Janice Claxton recently won a Herald Angel award at this year’s Edinburgh Festival for the site-specific production Enclosure 44 - Humans which was presented at Edinburgh Zoo.

This brilliant meditation on humans’ domination of the world, our vulnerability and how others might perceive us.
(The Scotsman on Enclosure 44 - Humans)
She has assembled a group of fine dancers, who share a lightness, delicacy and precision ideally suited to her choreography, a combination of the ethereal and the cutting... eloquent, gimmick-free dance at its best.
