‘Half Light combines a delicacy of means with deeply considered underlying principles. A dance piece, a sound piece, a piece of narrative performance – and an inclusive audience experience which feels almost healing’ – Phil Owen, Producer, Arnolfini

Half Light is a live dance work that de-centres the visual, exploring sensory perception and our relationship to the natural world during twilight, dusk and absolute night.

Performed in soft light in the round, with both live generated and pre-recorded sound scores, ‘Half Light’ blends choreography and poetic audio-descriptive narrative with a multi-textured, multi-located sound design to create an inclusive experience for blind, VI and sighted audiences.

Following the journey of a mother and a boy, the cast of two VI and two sighted performers explore the passing of time from day to night and back to sunrise, evoking an experience of twilight, absolute night and sonic sunrise, as a shifting sensory landscape, where memory and time are ambiguous.

Half Light is currently being developed for national touring in Autumn 2025. For further information and booking enquiries go to: Sarah Trist Dance Management Agency.
