Along side the Rise and Fall exhibition, Audiences on Saturday can experience an improvised performance by dancers from Shallal Dance Theatre.

Rise and Fall presents the creative play between artist Janet Holland’s large-scale, immersive, colour-filled canvases and a vibrational sound piece by artist Amy Lawrence for deaf and hearing audiences. A short film ‘Colour in the Air’ by Lou Brett documents the creative collaboration between the two artists.

Rise and Fall was originally produced in partnership with Grays Wharf for an exhibition in February 2023.

Practicalities: This site is wheelchair accessible but there’s no accessible toilet.
