Castle of Light 2023 Magic & Light: Hospital Square

One of two contributions to Castle of Light: Magic & Light. This was a magical Christmas story, a tale of a woman reaching for the stars, before transforming into a shooting star and falling back to earth. Working with the hugely talented contemporary dancer Joanne Pierre, this story was brought to life through dance, film and animation. Projection mapped onto the ancient walls of the castle hospital within the grounds of Edinburgh Castle, this immersive experience unfolded amidst the backdrop of the castle's mystical past.
