Shadow

Fin Walker last worked with Candoco when she choreographed Shadow, as part of our 2002/2003 Triple Bill, which received rave reviews. She is a highly acclaimed choreographer, performer and teacher, who formed her company WalkerDanceParkMusic in 1998 and has collaborated with many of the top names in dance.

She is a recipient of the Jerwood Choreographic Award and is a finalist for a Critics Circle National Dance Award for Best Modern Choreography.

Sad and melancholic, the artists’ faces downcast, Shadow defies its expectations and produces quick-paced, high-energy movement and dance. Expertly choreographed, the performers dart from person to person, always making contact, providing constant support for each other. A mixture of mutual dependency yet fierce independence, Shadow achieves a remarkable effect.
