'Light Steps' is a production for children, choreographed and directed by Adesola Akinleye. The piece is inspired by Spencer Finch’s current exhibition in the Turner Gallery 'The Skies can't keep their secret'. Finch’s work explores the changing colours during the course of the day which emerges through natural light, which 'Light Steps' draws upon.
The production’s concept derived from a two week residency which took place at Bromstone Primary School in Kent. Where children of year 5 contributed to the creative development of ‘Light Steps’ - exploring the different parts of the day.
The children also participated in the design of two characters - which belongs to an imaginative world which lies parallel to reality - taking place within the production.
The characters (in a form of puppetry during the performance) would narrate the path of events that transpire during the course of each day.

The production will capture the essence of 5 moments taking place during each day, by using different colour lights (inspired by Finch) within the performance to represent which point in time these moments take place.
Our rehearsal process is currently underway!
